To  all  lovers  of  the  Horse,  the  most  valuable  and  useful 
as  well  as  most  abused  of  animals,  this  book  is  dedicated 


INTRODUCTION. 


THE  horse  seems  daily  becoming  more  valuable  despite 
the  introduction  of  the  automobile  and  the  rapid  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  horses  raised  every  year.  It 
is  a  fact  he  is  becoming  year  by  year  more  expensive 
and,  no  doubt,  will  continue  so  to  do.  The  horse  is  by  far  the  most 
useful  to  man  of  all  the  dumb  animals  for  business  or  pleasure. 
Nothing  quite  takes  the  place  of  the  horse.  The  importance  then 
of  educating  horse  owners  and  caretakers  in  the  simplest  methods 
possible  to  preserve  and  repair  health  and  injuries  can  readily  be 
seen. 

This  book  is  not  intended  to  perfect  one  in  the  rules  of  veteri- 
nary practice,  but  rather  to  cultivate  care  and  attention,  to  suggest 
proper  foods  and  intelligent  treatment,  to  familiarize  the  reader 
with  the  habits,  customs  and  actions  of  the  horse  in  health,  sick- 
ness or  lameness,  to  assist  in  the  care  and  treatment,  whether  the 
horse  be  sick  or  well  and  to  impart  to  man  the  habit  of  interest  in 
the  welfare  of  the  horse. 

There  never  was  a  time  when  education  along  this  line  was 
more  important  than  the  present.  People  who  have  given  the 
subject  a  moments  thought,  are  painfully  aware  of  the  extreme  ig- 
norance displayed  by  the  average  man  in  charge  of  live  stock. 
There  is  no  animal  so  easily  trained  and  domesticated  as  the  horse 
when  intelligence  and  reason  are  used,  while  he  is  easily  made 
dangerous,  unmanageable,  balky  and  useless  where  ignorance  and 
temper  are  prominent  in  the  work  of  raising,  breeding  and  break- 
ing colts. 

With  the  view  of  helping  and  assisting  in  the  humane  and  prof- 
itable treatment  of  this  valuable  animal  the  author  presents  this 
book  and  in  doing  so  has  used  the  common  and  accepted  names 
of  medicines  and  diseases,  leaving  out  all  professional  terms  and 
allusions,  striving  to  make  plain  and  simple  the  Home  Treatment 
of  Horses  and  other  Dumb  Animals. 


This  book  describes  the  ills,  symptoms,  actions,  and  general  ap- 
pearance of  the  horse,  in  health  and  sickness,  tells  one  how  to  lo- 
cate lameness,  tell  the  age,  take  pulse  and  temperature,  and  intro- 
duces to  the  reader's  attention  a  series  of  Specific  Medicines  that 
have  proved  safe,  practical  and  effective  in  the  treatment  of  all  or- 
dinary ills  and  accidents  of  the  horse.  These  remedies  have  been 
used  in  practice  for  a  quarter  century  and  have  gained  an  enviable 
reputation,  being  recognized  everywhere  as  the  Standard  Veteri- 
nary Medicines  of  the  World. 

When  one  compares  the  treatment  of  mankind  and  the  dumb 
animals  he  must  be  struck  by  the  vast  difference  in  judgment  re- 
quired. In  the  one  case  the  human  being  can  tell  what  caused 
the  trouble,  what  has  been  done,  how  it  seems  or  feels  and  has  in- 
telligence to  carry  out  and  assist  in  the  work  and  advice,  while  the 
man  ministering  to  the  animal  must  get  all  his  ideas  and  views 
from  silent  observation,  depending  almost  entirely  on  symptoms, 
for  diagnosing,  while  for  treatment  he  must  depend  entirely  on  his 
own  personal  efforts. 

Thus  we  see  how  much  depends  on  the  judgment  and  good  sense 
of  the  man  who  undertakes  to  care  for  the  horse.  While  the  au- 
thor does  not  expect  to  make  Veterinarians  of  the  readers  of  this 
book  he  does  hope  to  assist  in  the  more  reasonable  care  and  treat- 
ment of  Dumb  Animals.

CHAPTER   I. 

DISEASES  OF  THE  STOMACH  AND  INTESTINES. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  "World  famous  Colic  Drops  for  the  positive  cure  of 
Spasmodic  and  Flatulent  Colic  and  for  use  in  the  treatment  of  Bowel 
Troubles,  Azoturia,  Constipation,  Peritonitis,  Diarrhoea,  Scours,  Stiffs, 
Paralysis  of  the  Hind  Quarters,  Black  Water,  Stoppage,  Muco  En- 
teritis, Inflammation,  Sunstroke,  Heat  Exhaustion,  Indigestion,  Apoplexy, 
Thumps,  Etc. 

Horse  Colic. — Every  horse  owner  dreads  this  most  dan- 
gerous disease  in  a  horse.  It  is  regarded  by  veterinarians 
as  by  far  the  most  dangerous  of  the  non-contagious  dis- 
eases that  the  horse  is  heir  to ;  in  fact  the  mortaHty  from 
this  cause  alone  is  probably  greater  than  from  all  the  other 
non-contagious  diseases  combined.  Insurance  statistics  say 
that  twenty-seven  horses  die  from  colic  where  one  dies  from 
fire.  It  is  known  among  stockmen  and  veterinarians,  in 
different  parts  of  the  world  by  many  and  various  names, 
such  as  bellyache,  inflammation,  wind,  bots,  bloat,  stop- 
page of  water,  spasms,  etc.  The  veterinarian  recognizes  but 
two  kinds,  the  spasmodic  and  flatulent  colic. 

Horse  Colic  is  Caused  by  a  great  variety  of  conditions, 
the  most  common  being  indigestion;  a  change  of  feed  or 
water ;  drinking  cold  water  on  an  empty  stomach  when  tired 
or  exhausted ;  constipation,  ulcers,  worms,  exposure,  neglect, 
etc.  Many  cases  are  brought  on  by  the  horse  taking  a 
sudden  chill  by  standing  in  a  draught  when  heated ;  also  by 
over  feeding,  which  causes  an  unusual  amount  of  gas  to 
accumulate ;  neglect  of  the  usual  evacuation,  such  as  going 
a  long  time  without  urinating.  All  of  the  above,  as  well  as 
many  other  causes,  or  a  combination  of  them,  will  bring  on 
Horse  Colic.  It  is  quite  prevalent  in  cold  weather  from 
neglect  and  exposure. 

Spasmodic  Colic. — Comes  on  very  suddenly ;  abdominal 
pains ;  distended  bowels  relieved  by  pressure ;  the  pulse  is 
nearly  natural ;  the  legs  and  ears  are  generally  warm  ;  never

preceded  and  seldom  followed  by  fever;  small  quantities 
of  urine  at  intervals ;  looks  at  flanks ;  paws  the  floor ;  kicks 
at  belly ;  lies  down,  rolls,  lies  still,  is  easier ;  gets  up  at  the 
termination  of  each  paroxysm,  which  will  usually  follow  in 
quick  succession.  The  difficulty  to  urinate  is  often  taken  to 
indicate  bladder  or  kidney  trouble.  See  illustrated  chart, 
fig.  1,  2,  3. 

Treatment. — Give  at  once  a  30  drop  dose  of  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  No.  1  Colic  Drops,  half-teaspoonful  is  a  dose,  as 
far  back  on  the  tongue  as  possible ;  in  ten  minutes  give  the 
same  size  dose  of  No.  2  Colic  Drops ;  then  continue  giving 
the  doses,  first  one  and  then  the  other,  about  ten  minutes  ■ 
apart.  In  severe  cases,  or  if  you  have  delayed  treatment, 
or  could  not  obtain  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  at  the  beginning, 
you  can  give  two  doses  each  of  the  drops,  at  first,  after- 
wards giving  30  drop  doses  once  in  five  to  ten  minutes. 
Usually  four  to  eight  doses  will  cure  a  bad  case  of  colic.  Be 
sure  and  give  the  full  doses  of  No.  1  and  No.  2  as  directed, 
well  back  in  the  mouth  at  root  of  tongue.  Keep  everything 
quiet  as  possible  and  don't  get  excited.  Allow  the  horse  to 
keep  any  position  he  likes.  Don't  ride  or  run  him  about. 
When  possible  give  injections  of  warm,  soapy  water,  luke- 
warm, 3  to  6  quarts  at  a  time.  Many  times  the  horse  will 
be  found  to  be  so  constipated  that  the  gas  cannot  work  off 
naturally.  If  not  possible  to  give  injections,  introduce  the 
hand,  well  greased,  into  the  rectum,  removing  all  excrement 
possible.  Do  not  be  induced  to  try  any  other  medicines. 
Daniels'  Colic  Drops  will  do  the  work.  They  never  fail,  if 
given  in  any  reasonable  time.  The  doser  full  is  a  30  drop 
dose  or  half-teaspoonful. 

Flatulent  Colic. — Comes  on  slowly ;  horse  appears  dull, 
paws  slightly ;  belly  enlarged,  with  drum-like  sound  when 
hit  with  hand ;  pains  continuous  ;  legs  tremble ;  respiration 
like  sighing ;  perspires  profusely  ;  breathes  with  difficulty ; 
may  or  may  not  lie  down  ;  staggers  from  side  to  side,  show- 
ing evidence  of  great  pain.     See  chart,  fig.  4,  5,  6. 

Treatment. — Flatulent  or  wind  colic  is  more  fatal  than 
spasmodic,  hence  prompt  and  energetic  treatment  is  nec- 
essary. Give  at  once  half  a  teaspoonful  which  is  a  30-drop 
dose  of  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  No.  1.  In  five  min- 
utes give  the  same  size  dose  of  No.  2  Colic  Drops,  repeat-

ing  every  ten  minutes,  first  of  one  and  then  the  other,  well 
back  in  the  mouth  at  the  root  of  the  tongue  until  relieved. 
In  extreme  cases,  wring  out  blankets  in  hot  water,  and  bind 
about  the  bowels,  covering  with  a  dry  blanket  to  keep  hot. 
Renew  every  ten  minutes.  This  is  often  of  great  assist- 
ance in  relieving  pain.  Give  injections  of  lukewarm  soapy 
water  when  possible.  Apply  Daniels'  "Golden  Liniment*' 
Oster-Cocus  to  the  loins ;  acts  as  a  stimulant  on  the  kidneys. 

After  a  case  of  Flatulent  CoHc  is  cured  give  three  or  four 
doses  30  drops  each  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops.  This  pre- 
vents recurrence  of  colic,  or  feed  a  bran  mash  frequently, 
for  two  weeks,  adding  one  dose  of  Horse  Renovator. 

When,  after  a  drive,  or  from  unknown  reasons,  your  horse 
is  suddenly  taken  sick,  perhaps  from  cold  water,  exposure, 
change  of  feed,  etc.,  looks  at  his  sides,  appears  to  desire  to 
lie  down,  take  his  ears  in  your  hands ;  if  they  are  warm  and 
pulse  is  natural  look  out  for  Colic. 

To  prevent  Colic  give  in  the  feed  one  dose  of  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  once  or  twice  every  day  for  a  week 
at  a  time,  each  month ;  this  will  prevent  colic  and  indiges- 
tion, put  on  flesh  and  make  the  coat  look  fine  and  glossy. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  have  cured  thousands  of  cases  of 
Colic  after  they  had  been  given  up  by  good  Veterinarians,  or 
the  other  so-called  * 'cures"  had  proven  their  worthlessness. 
*'While  there's  life  there'shope,"evenif  the  eyes  are  filmed, 
the  upper  lip  turned  up,  the  pulse  cannot  be  felt,  and  you 
can  prick  him  with  a  pin  without  his  moving ;  even  when 
"they  say"  he's  dead,  don't  despair.  If  you  give  Daniels' 
Colic  Drops  then,  even  when  as  near  death  as  that,  he  may 
recover.     Hundreds  have.     In  such  cases  double  the  doses. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  CoHc  Drops  are  put  up  two  bottles  in 
a  sealed  case,  numbered  1  and  2,  with  doser,  which  takes  up 
just  one  dose,  30  drops.  It  is  worth  one  hundred  dollars  a 
package,  because  it  never  fails  to  give  satisfaction  and  one 
package  will  cure  eight  to  twelve  cases  of  Horse  Colic.  It 
is  so  simple  a  woman  or  child  can  give  it  to  a  horse.  It  is 
perfectly  safe,  and  never  makes  the  horse  sick  and  will  never 
fail  to  effect  a  cure  if  directions  are  followed.  Be  sure  none 
is  left  in  the  doser;  give  the  full  dose. 

Every  package  of  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Famous  Colic  Drops 
is  warranted  to  give  satisfaction  or  money  refunded.

12      Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Warrant. — Five  to  ten  cents'  worth 
of  Dr.  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  will,  in  from  ten  to  fifty  min- 
utes, cure  any  case  of  horse  colic,  either  spasmodic  or  flat- 
ulent, if  the  directions  are  followed,  or  we  will  refund  your 
money  without  argument. 

Impaction  of  the  Larger  Intestines. — Slight  pains  in 
the  abdomen,  coming  on  at  intervals  of  from  eight  to  twelve 
hours,  even  twenty-four.  Abdomen  full,  but  not  distend- 
ed with  gas ;  lies  down  flat  and  on  his  side,  with  head  and 
legs  extended ;  frequently  raises  his  head  and  looks  back  at 
his  flanks  ;  remains  down  sometimes  for  fifteen  minutes  ;  rises 
at  intervals;  walks  about;  paws;  looks  at  his  sides;  backs 
up  against  the  stall ;  presses  his  tail  hard  against  partition; 
pulse  at  first  sluggish ;  later  rapid  and  feeble.  These  symp- 
toms continue  sometimes  for  two  or  three  weeks  at  inter- 
vals and  they  should  be  looked  after  at  once.  Impaction 
is  often  mistaken  for  Colic.     See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  7. 

Treatment. — Give  at  once,  one  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Handy 
Horse  Physic  Balls ;  if  not  enough  action  in  twenty-four 
hours,  give  another  one.  Give  also,  at  once,  60  drops  of 
Dr.  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  No.  1,  as  far  back  in  the  mouth 
as  possible;  in  ten  minutes,  give  60  drops  of  No.  2  Colic 
Drops ;  then  30  drop  doses,  first  No.  1  and  then  No.  2 
every  10  to  20  minutes,  from  two  to  four  hours.  Give 
copious  enemas  every  hour,  first  of  lukewarm,  soapy  water, 
then  of  salt  and  warm  water ;  apply  wet  cloths  with  hot  water 
to  the  bowels,  covering  with  dry  ones  to  steam ;  repeat  every 
ten  minutes ;  dry  and  rub  in,  not  too  hard,  a  little  Oster- 
Cocus  Liniment  to  the  abdomen  and  loins  ;  gentle  walking 
exercises.  With  good  care  and  treatment  you  can  save 
your  horse,  otherwise  inflammation  will  ensue.  When  con- 
valescing, feed  bran  mashes  and  soft  food ;  once  or  twice 
daily,  for  a  week  or  two,  add  a  Horse  Renovator  to  the 
feed.  If  you  feed  a  Daniels*  Horse  Renovator  once  a  day 
for  one  week  in  each  month,  your  horse  will  not  be  likely  to 
have  impaction ;  he  will  take  on  flesh  and  look  and  feel  fine. 
Bear  in  mind  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  are  not  guaranteed  to 
cure  impaction  of  intestines,  but  the  treatment  as  herein 
given  is  the  safest  you  can  follow. 

Inflammation  of  the  Bowels,  Peritonitis  or  Enter- 
itis.— Generally  proves  fatal  unless  properly  treated.

Dr.   a,   C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines      13 

Symptoms. — The  animal  is  dull  and  restless ;  refuses  food, 
has  shivering  fits,  mouth  hot,  legs  and  ears  alternately  hot 
and  cold,  pulse  quick  and  small,  looks  toward  his  flanks, 
membrane  of  the  nose  and  eyes  congested,  respiration  in- 
creases, temperature  from  100  to  105,  blood-shot  eyes,  ab- 
domen hot  and  tender,  lies  down  carefully,  rolls  on  his  back, 
urine  highly  colored  and  scanty ;  has  inclination  to  sit  on 
his  haunches  like  a  pig ;  this  latter  is  a  sure  indication  of 
this  disease  and  treatment  should  be  begun  in  earnest.  See 
chart,  fig.  8. 

Treatment. — Give  sixty  drops  of  No.  1  Colic  Drops;  in  ten 
minutes  give  sixty  drops  of  No.  2 ;  then  give  30  drop  doses  al- 
ternatel}^  of  1  and  2,  every  ten  minutes,  until  six  doses  are 
given ;  to  reduce  the  fever,  give  three  doses  30  drops  each  of 
Daniels'  Fever  Drops,  thirty  minutes  apart  or  until  fever  is 
allayed.  Apply  to  loins  and  bowels,  some  blankets  kept  wet 
with  hot  water.  Rub  the  legs  and  loins  with  Daniels'  Oster- 
Cocus,  the  "Golden  Liniment."  If  the  horse  will  not  eat, 
mix  a  Horse  Renovator  in  molasses,  and  spread  it  on  his 
tongue ;  if  he  will  eat,  give  warm  bran  mash  with  a  dose  of 
Horse  Renovator  therein.  Keep  the  horse  quiet  and  do  not 
give  physic,  or  injections  or  feed  solid  food.  Many  desper- 
ate cases  have  been  saved  by  persistent  labor  in  this  direct- 
ion. We  do  not  warrant  to  cure  this  trouble,  but  we  think 
this  the  best  treatment  to  use. 

Entangling  of  Intestines. — Proves  fatal.  Is  caused  by 
empty  bowels,  with  fast  or  hard  driving.  The  symptoms, 
much  like  Colic,  cause  many  to  think  this  trouble  is  Colic, 
for  which  it  is  often  mistaken,  the  horse  dying  in  a  short 
time. 

Acute  Indigestion,  Impaction  op  Stomach. — Caused 
b}^  excessive  quantities  of  feed  or  a  changed  diet.  Colicky 
pains  are  the  symptoms. 

Treatment. — Unload  the  stomach,  give  Dr.  Daniels'  Physic 
Ball;  enemas  of  warm,  soapy  water  are  also  of  assistance. 
If  the  animal  will  drink,  add  a  little  salt  to  the  water ;  give 
30-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Colic  Drops,  first  No.  1  and 
then  No.  2,  at  intervals  of  10  to  20  minutes.  If  the  brain 
seems  affected  or  is  feverish,  give  a  few  doses  of  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  Fever  Drops,  30  drops  each  dose,  at  intervals  of  half 
an  hour.     Apply  cold  cloths  or  ice  to  the  head.     Blanket

and  keep  warm ;  rub  on  the  legs  and  loins  Daniels'  Oster- 
Cocus,  the  "Golden  Liniment."  Returning  to  feed  give  warm 
bran  mashes,  to  which  add  a  dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Reno- 
vator once  a  day. 

Gastritis. — Colicky  pains,  great  thirst ;  when  from  poison, 
various  other  symptoms  according  to  the  kind  of  poison. 
When  from  lead,  loss  of  appetite,  constipation,  watery  swel- 
lings under  jaws,  blue  or  gray  lines  on  the  margin  of  the 
gums;  when  from  Arsenic,  colicky  pains,  nausea,  vomiting, 
purging,  staggering  gait,  paralysis  of  hind  quarters.  Gas- 
tritis may  owe  its  origin  to  drugs,  mercury,  etc.    See  fig.  9. 

Treatment. — When  caused  by  irritant  poisons,  give  a  few 
doses  of  Colic  Drops,  Physic  Ball  and  several  doses  of  Lin- 
seed Oil ;  soft  food,  mashes  and  a  dose  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  morning  and  night. 

Muco-Enteritis,  Apoplexy  of  the  Large  Bowel. — 
Quite  common  and  often  mistaken  for  Colic.  When  this 
disease  is  not  instantly  treated,  the  horse  rarely  lives  more 
than  twelve  hours. 

Symptoms. — Very  much  like  colic ;  severe  and  persistent 
pains  ;  labored  respiration ;  the  pulse  rapid  and  weak ;  per- 
spires profusely ;  mucous  membrane  pale  in  color ;  a  pe- 
culiar, anxious  expression  which  alone  is  enough  to  tell  us 
the  trouble.  Nearing  the  end  the  horse  breathes  very  hard 
and  with  heavy  sighs,  he  staggers  and  falls  about,  dying  in 
delirium. 

Treatment. — Uusually  is  of  little  avail,  as  generally  the 
disease  has  made  great  progress  before  being  discovered. 
Make  copious  hot  applications  to  the  abdomen,  applying 
frequently  and  keep  hot  with  dry  blankets  or  cloths.  Ap- 
ply Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  to  the  legs  and  loins  to 
stimulate  circulation  and  give  Colic  Drops  as  in  ordinary 
Enteritis  until  relieved ;  follow  with  four  30  drop  doses  of 
Daniels'  Fever  Drops  at  intervals  of  thirty  minutes  to  re- 
duce the  fever;  when  resuming  feed,  add  Horse  Renovator 
twice  daily  for  a  week  or  more. 

AzoTURiA,  Paralysis  of  the  Hind  Quarters,  Stiffs. — 
This  common  disease  is  less  understood  by  the  farmer  and 
general  horse  owner  than  any  of  the  dangerous  diseases, 
and  is  caused  mainly  by  over  or  heavy  feeding,  witho  t  the 
regular  work  or  exercise.     It  always  attacks  horses  that  are

in  good  condition.  The  seat  of  the  trouble  is  in  the  group 
of  muscles  of  the  hip,  loin  and  side.  The  horse  starts  out  in 
fine  spirits,  but  soon  and  suddenly  he  slows  up,  sweats  pro- 
fusely, becomes  lame  in  one  or  both  legs.  See  chart,  fig.  10. 

Symptoms. — Often  knuckling  of  the  hind  fetlock  joint,  or 
rigidity  of  the  muscles  of  the  hip,  from  the  stifle  to  the 
hip-bone.  Evidence  of  indigestion,  membrane  of  eye  and 
nose,  dusty  brown  color.  Frequently  passes  gas  and  manure 
which  has  an  offensive  odor.  Urine  color  of  strong  coffee 
or  even  blood  color.  When  this  most  characteristic  symp- 
tom is  observed,  there  is  no  question  as  to  the  nature  of 
the  disease  and  that  it  is  not  spinal  meningitis,  as  it  is  so 
often  called.  Temperature  is  from  102  to  104.  Do  not 
feed  too  much  corn,  cotton  seed  or  patent  foods.  Where 
a  work  horse  rests  for  a  day,  always  cut  down  the  feed 
and  thus  prevent  this  disease. 

Treatment. — Give  one  of  Daniels'  Physic  Balls  as  soon  as 
possible ;  if  much  fever,  give  30-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels' 
Cough,  Cold  and  Fever  Drops  at  intervals  of  fifteen  minutes 
to  reduce  it ;  and  give  30-drop  doses  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops 
No.  1  every  fifteen  minutes  for  two  or  three  hours,  and  then 
once  in  thirty  minutes  until  relieved;  but  reduce  the  dose 
when  he  shows  signs  of  improvement.  Give  injections  of 
warm  soapy  water.  Apply  blankets  wet  in  hot  water,  fold- 
ing them  over  the  back,  loins  and  hips  to  the  stifle  joint ; 
keep  them  hot.  After  removing  them,  apply  Oster-Cocus 
Liniment  to  the  loins  and  legs.  Keep  soft  bedding  under 
him  and  change  his  position,  turning  him  over  every  six 
hours  at  least.  When  returning  to  the  feed,  give  warm  bran 
mashes  frequently,  adding  one  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator 
thereto.  Avoid  noise ;  keep  him  as  easy  and  comfortable 
as  you  can  in  every  way. 

Stay  Up  Medicine  for  Track  Work. — Give  between 
heats  at  intervals  of  ten  minutes,  30  drops  of  Daniels'  No. 
1  Colic  Drops,  or  if  much  exhausted  after  heat  give  two 
doses,  30  drops  each,  of  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  at  intervals 
of  15  minutes. 

Superpurgation. — This  results  from  too  much  physic  or 
from  giving  physic  at  an  improper  time.  Thus  never  give 
physic  in  cases  of  pneumonia,  influenza,  diseases  of  the  res- 
piratory organs  or  other  debilitating  ills.     Small  and  re-

peated  doses  of  physic  should  be  avoided.  When  a  physic 
is  given,  soft  and  sloppy  toods  should  be  given  until  opera- 
tion. Always  give  one  or  two  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  each  day  for  a  week  or  so  after  giving  a  physic. 
It  will  act  as  a  tonic.  To  overcome  too  much  purging,  feed 
dry  oats  and  hay ;  brown  wheat  flour  in  the  oven  and  give 
as  a  feed;  linseed  tea,  white  oak  bark  tea,  chalk  in  the 
water.     If  these  fail  write  for  further  information. 

Diarrhoea. — Causes  are  many.  Naturally  some  horses 
are  liable  to  wash  from  the  simplest  cause ;  drinking  cold 
water  or  excessive  drinking  of  water,  change  of  feed  from 
dry  to  new  or  green,  nervous  excitement,  irritating  food, 
poor  judgment  in  giving  purgative  medicines,  worms,  pin- 
worms  in  lower  bowels,  etc. ;  worms  are  more  often  the 
cause  than  anything  else. 

Treatment. — Be  careful  in  feeding.  Give  dry  feed,  well 
seasoned ;  feed  perfectly  clean  good  hay,  give  water  twice  a 
day  only,  early  in  the  morning  half  an  hour  before  feeding, 
and  at  night,  adding  a  little  powdered  chalk  to  the  water ; 
give  three  doses  of  No.  1  Colic  Drops,  30-drop  doses,  20 
minutes  apart,  night  and  morning.  Give  one  of  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  in  feed ;  don't  work  for  a  few 
days.  Well  boiled,  browned  flour  gruel  two  or  three  times 
daily  is  also  good.      If  worms  are  the  cause,  treat  for  them. 

Constipation. — In  horses  is  usually  from  improper  feed- 
ing, dry,  innutritious  food,  lack  of  water  and  want  of  exer- 
cise. In  colts,  constipation  is  common.  Attendants  should 
note  the  condition  of  the  bowels  soon  after  birth.  If  the 
colt  fails  to  pass  feces  and  shows  colicky  pains,  straining, 
etc.,  give  prompt  attention  or  you  will  more  than  likely 
lose  the  colt. 

Treatment. — For  Horses. — Should  be  regulated  mostly 
by  proper  feeding,  warm  bran  mashes  frequently,  adding  a 
dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  each  time.  Colic  Drops 
when  signs  of  colicky  pains,  a  dose  of  physic,  epsom  salts, 
linseed  oil  or  Daniels'  Physic  Ball.  Feed  the  Horse  Reno- 
vator occasionally  and  this  trouble  will  not  occur. 

Treatment. — For  Colts. — Give  injections  of  warm  soapy 
water.  If  impacted  break  down  the  hardened  substance 
by  introducing  the  finger  through  the  anus.  Give  two  to 
four  ounces  of  Castor  Oil  for  Physic,  also  give  about  one-

quarter  dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  mixed  with  a 
little  molasses  and  spread  upon  the  tongue.  Powdered 
charcoal  in  liberal  quantities  may  be  given.  If  Colic  is  pres- 
ent, give  a  few  6-drop  doses  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops,  once 
in  ten  to  twenty  minutes. 

Scours,  Washy  Horse. — Remove  all  the  causes  whether 
worms,  food,  water  or  improper  medicines.  Give  thirty 
drops  of  Daniels'  CoHc  Drops  No.  1,  once  in  thirty  min- 
utes. Usually  two  or  three  doses  will  check  it,  after  which 
give  for  five  or  six  days,  morning  and  night,  one  dose  of 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  in  the  feed  as  a  tonic.  Restrict 
drinking;  inject  six  quarts  warm  soapy  water,  adding  three 
tablespoonfuls  each  of  salt  and  bread  soda.  A  little  browned 
wheat  flour  with  warm  water  is  also  beneficial  as  a  drink ; 
never  water  washy  horses  after  feeding  or  on  a  drive ;  al- 
ways feed  hay  before  grain  when  troubled  with  Scours. 

Stoppage  of  Water  and  Black  Water. — Give  as  soon 
as  possible  thirty  drops  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  No.  1 ;  wait 
ten  minutes,  then  thirty  drops  of  Daniels'  No.  2  Colic  Drops ; 
repeat  these  doses  every  ten  minutes  for  two  hours.  Then 
one  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovators  mixed  with  molasses  and 
spread  upon  the  tongue  as  a  tonic.  Bathe  and  steam  the 
loins  and  abdomen,  after  which  apply  Oster-Cocus  Liniment. 

When  recovering,  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  is  very  bene- 
ficial as  a  tonic  and  blood  maker. 

Strangury. — Frequent  desire  to  pass  urine,  in  which  are 
small  quantities  of  blood,  indications  of  fever  with  pain. 

Treatment. — Give  a  30-drop  dose  of  No.  1  Colic  Drops 
every  twenty  minutes  for  three  hours,  and  give  a  few  doses 
of  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  at  intervals  of  one  hour,  for  three 
or  four  hours,  plenty  of  cold  water  to  drink ;  flaxseed  tea  is 
of  assistance.  Lay  over  the  kidneys  and  back,  a  blanket 
wet  in  hot  Liniment  Powder,  keeping  it  hot ;  cover  with  a 
dry  one  to  keep  the  heat  in  so  as  to  give  a  good  steaming ; 
then  rub  in  over  the  loins  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment. 
Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  in  the  feed  is  of  great  benefit ;  it 
is  a  tonic  to  the  kidneys  and  urinary  organs. 

Sunstroke.  —  Comes  on  suddenly;  the  animal  stops, 
drops  his  head,  begins  to  stagger,  and  soon  falls  to  the 
ground  unconscious.  Breathes  hard,  pulse  is  slow  and  ir- 
regular ;  cold  sweats  break  out  in  sections  over  the  surface 

Home  Treatment   for   Horses  and   Cattle 


18         Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

of  the  body.  The  horse  often  dies  without  recovering  con- 
sciousness. Fat,  feeble  and  old  horses,  and  young,  exposed  to 
summer  sun  and  heat  without  shade  for  the  head  are  easily 
overcome  ;  unless  relieved  palsy  and  death  may  occur,  rarely 
in  cases  of  recovery  will  the  horse  be  as  good  as  before. 

Treatment.  —  Give  Daniels'  Fever  Drops,  30-drop  doses, 
every  15  minutes;  from  3  to  6  doses.  As  soon  as  possible 
get  the  animal  into  a  shady  spot ;  drench  with  cold  water,  a 
bucket  or  hose  may  be  used,  and  the  head  and  neck  and 
along  the  spine  in  particular  douched ;  give  six  ounces  of 
whiskey  in  pint  of  water.  Injections  of  weak  ginger  tea. 
Rub  the  legs  with  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  and  after  recov- 
ery give  rest  and  quiet ;  light  but  good  feed,  mashes,  cut 
hay,  roots,  etc.,  plenty  water  to  drink,  and  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  once  or  twice  daily. 

Heat  Exhaustion. — The  animal  drives  logy,  and  re- 
quires urging.  Generally  perspiration  is  checked.  Soon  he 
becomes  weak  in  his  gait ;  breath  is  hurried  and  panting ; 
eyes  watery  and  bloodshot ;  nostrils  dilated  and  highly  red- 
dened ;  pulse  rapid  and  weak  ;  the  heart  bounding ;  followed 
by  unconsciousness. 

Treatment. — In  this  case  wring  out  cloths  in  hot  Liniment 
Powder  or  even  in  hot  water,  and  apply  them  to  the  head 
and  spine ;  give  six  ounces  of  whiskey  in  a  pint  of  water. 
Use  injections  as  recommended  for  sunstroke.  Rub  the 
limbs  briskly  w^th  Oster-Cocus.  When  recovering,  either 
from  sunstroke  or  heat  exhaustion,  the  system  needs  tonic. 
Nothing  better  than  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  Powders. 
Give  one  dose  morning  and  evening  in  the  feed.  Give 
bran  mashes  frequently;    good  feed,  pure  air,  and  care.

DISEASES  OF  THE  RESPIRATORY  ORGANS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Cough,  Cold,  Fever  Drops  and  Distemper  Remedy 
and  its  use  in  the  Treatment  of  Chills,  Colds,  Coughs,  Distemper,  Epi- 
zootic, Pink  Eye,  Influenza,  Pneumonia,  Fevers  and  Lung  Troubles, 
Congestion  of  Lungs,  Bronchitis,  Laryngitis,  Shippers  Fever,  etc..  Diffi- 
cult Breathing,  Glanders,  Farcy.  The  Pulse  and  how  to  take  Temper- 
ature.    The  Clinical  Thermometer  and  its  use. 

Coughs,  Colds,  Distemper,  Epizootic,  Pinkeye,  In- 
fluenza.— These  troublesome  and  dangerous  ills  are  caused 
by  atmospheric  changes  ;  more  often  occur  in  spring  and  fall 
when  animals  are  shedding  their  hair.  They  are  doubtless 
many  times  brought  on  by  ill- ventilated,  ill-smelling  and 
damp  stables,  or  great  and  sudden  changes  of  the  weather. 
They  are  more  or  less  contagious,  especially  in  unsanitary 
stables.  Western  horses  sent  east  are  almost  sure  to 
contract  distemper,  "Shippers  Fever."  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels' 
Fever  Drops  will  prevent  their  doing  so  if  given  as  directed. 

Chill. — By  this  means  many  diseases  and  fevers  are 
ushered  in.  If  the  chill  be  checked  at  once,  in  most  cases 
something  worse  will  be  stopped.  "A  stitch  in  time  saves 
nine."  For  this  purpose  give  at  once  two  or  three  doses  of 
Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops.  Blanket  well  and  keep  out  of 
draughts.  Rub  the  legs  with  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  thus 
preventing  more  serious  ills. 

Cold. — One  step  from  chill.  Will  perhaps  be  worse  if  neg- 
lected. Treat  at  once  as  for  chill.  Give  two  to  four  30-drop 
doses  of  Cough,  Cold  and  Fever  Drops.  Give  warm  bran 
mash  with  one  dose  of  Horse  Renovator,  and  for  two  weeks 
morning  and  night  give  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  in  feed. 
Blanket  and  keep  from  draughts. 

Cold  in  the  Head,  leading  to  catarrh,  etc.,  is  an  inflam- 
mation of  the  lining  of  the  nostrils  and  other  parts  of  the 
head  and  throat ;  often  affects  the  eyes,  causing  them  to 
swell  and  the  tears  to  flow.     The  membranes  at  first  are

20        Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

dry  and  congested,  pinkish  red,  or  red  in  color,  watery  dis- 
charge from  the  nostrils,  some  fever  which  shall  be  at  once 
apparent  if  we  use  a  clinical  thermometer.  The  animal 
will  appear  dvill,  sneezing  short  and  often;  "blows"  the  air 
through  his  nose;  if  not  checked  at  once,  worse  will  soon 
follow.    See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  11- 

Treatment. — Act  promptly  and  give  three  to  five  doses 
Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops..  Feed  bran  mashes  morning  and 
night  and  give  every  day  two  doses  of  Horse  Renovator. 
Keep  the  horse  in  a  well  ventilated  stall  without  draught, 
and  keep  him  well  blanketed.  Hang  a  blanket  over  the 
head  and  steam.  If  constipated,  give  a  physic  or  warm 
water  injections.     Do  not  work  for  two  or  three  days. 

Chronic  Cough. — Simply  an  old  cough  or  a  cold  that  the 
horse  has  been  troubled  with  for  some  time.  It  arises  from 
so  many  different  causes,  and  has  so  many  variations,  that 
no  accurate  definition  of  it  is  possibleiand  we  don't  think  it  is 
needed,  as  most  horse  owners  know  it  without  any  intro- 
duction. While  a  large  proportion  of  cases  are  incurable, 
many  yield  to  treatment  and  are  bettered  and  if  a  horse  is 
of  any  value,  it  usually  is  worth  trying. 

Treatment, — Give  the  Fever  Drops  four  to  six  times  and 
the  Horse  Renovator  twice  a  day.  Feel  along  his  windpipe 
carefully  for  some  enlargement  or  thickening.  If  anything 
of  this  nature  is  found.,  clip  the  hair  over  the  spot  and 
apply  Daniels'  Absorbent,  which  will  absorb  and  dissolve 
any  thickening  of  the  cartilage.  Repeat  in  two  weeks  if 
needed.  Many  times  an  attack  of  distemper  will  cause 
inflammation  and  swelling  of  the  throat,  which  not  being 
properly  treated,  will  gradually  subside,  leaving  a  lump, 
which  obstructs  the  air  passage.  This  trouble  will  cause  a 
horse  to  cough  and  breathe  hard  after  a  long  pull  or  climb- 
ing a  steep  hill.  Worms  also  cause  a  bad  cough ;  if  any 
indications  of  worms  treat  tor  them  at  once. 

Nasal  Catarrh. — Steam  the  head  with  a  solution  of 
Liniment  Powder ,  put  on  hood  to  prevent  colds ;  blanket 
warm.  Give  30-drop  dose  of  Fever  Drops  once  an  hour  for 
four  hours-,  then  once  in  two  hours,  for  four  hours.  A 
physic  is  beneficial.  Soft  food,  bran  mash,  morning  and 
night,  first  day,  with  Horse  Renovator  mixed  therein ;  then 
dampen  the  feed  and  give  a  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.       21 

for  two  weeks.  Sometimes  discharge  from  nose  is  caused 
by  diseased  teeth.  Look  out  for  them.  A  horse  with  dis- 
charge from  nose  should  be  fed  from  a  temporary  manger 
or  bucket  placed  near  the  floor,  as  the  position  of  the  head 
while  feeding  facilitates  the  discharge.     Fig.  18. 

Nasal  Gleet. — This  disease  consists  of  a  chronic  dis- 
charge of  mucus  from  the  nose.  It  is  generally  caused  by 
catarrhal  inflammation,  neglected  catarrh,  general  neglect, 
of  colds,  etc.  Steam  the  head.  See  nosebag,  colored  chart, 
fig.  19.  It  should  receive  treatment  at  once  the  same  as 
in  Nasal  Catarrh  as  it  is  sometimes  the  forerunner  of  serious 
diseases.  Build  up  the  strength,  purify  the  blood,  by  feeding 
bran  mashes  and  soft  foods,  adding  a  dose  of  Horse  Reno- 
vator daily  to  feed  for  a  few  weeks.     See  chart,  fig.  18. 

Snuffling  in  Breathing — Contraction  of  nostrils  indi- 
cates thickening  of  the  membranes  on  one  or  both  sides. 
Locate  by  tightly  holding  the  hand  on  first  one  and  then 
the  other  nostril.     Treatment  same  as  Nasal  Gleet. 

Laryngitis. — The  horse  holds  head  stiff,  nose  held  out 
and  up.  difliculty  in  swallowing ;  if  drinking,  water  will  run 
out  through  the  nose.  Pressure  to  throat  produces  cough- 
ing. Often  confused  with  distemper  but  easily  diagnosed 
after  third  or  fourth  day.  The  tumor  of  distemper  is  ab- 
sent though  discharge  from  nostrils  is  noticed. 

Treatment. — Should  be  same  as  for  cold  in  head,  catarrh, 
etc.  Apply  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  freely  to  the  throat  to 
stimulate  circulation  Keep  up  the  strength  with  good 
feed,  mashes  and  Horse  Renovator.     See  chart,  fig.  12. 

Bronchitis. — More  frequent  in  winter  and  spring;  it  is 
caused  by  extreme  changes  of  temperature  and  horse  in  low 
condition,  and  by  overheated  stables  with  foul  air,  all  com- 
bined with  cold  and  wet  weather  or  neglect. 

Symptoms. — Pulse  hard,  full,  frequent ,  breathes  quick; 
the  ears  and  legs  cold;  spine  rigid;  great  thirst;  will  not  eat ; 
usually  constipated,  though  diarrhoea  may  sometimes  be 
present. 

Treatment.  —  Blanket  well;  roomy  stall;  plenty  of  good 
straw  for  bed ;  hot  inhalations  of  Liniment  Powder,  one 
tablespoonful  to  a  quart  of  water,  keeping  hot  by  putting 
hot  iron  or  stone  into  the  bucket ;  give  thirty  drop  doses  of 
Fever  Drops  every  thirty  minutes  for  six  hours ;  repeat  the 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


22      Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

steaming  often,  every  hour.  Continue  to  give  the  Fever 
Drops  three  times  daily  for  four  or  five  days ;  give  Horse 
Renovator  in  bran  mash  warm,  or  if  he  will  not  eat,  mix 
with  molasses  and  spread  on  the  tongue  three  times  daily ; 
apply  to  the  throat  Oster-Cocus  Liniment ;  if  constipated 
give  Daniels'  Physic  Ball.      Laxative  foods  are  a  necessity. 

Horse  Distemper,  Epizootic,  Pinkeye,  Influenza. — ■ 
Don't  wait,  act  at  once.     A  stitch  in  time  truty  saves  nine. 

Symptoms. — Usually  a  sudden  shivering ;  cold  legs  and 
ears ;  coat  rough ;  poor  appetite  ;  sore  throat ;  trouble  in 
swallowing ;  eyes  become  dull ;  lips  swell  and  tears  flow. 
The  inside  of  nostrils  deep  red  and  dry ;  soon  a  thin  watery- 
discharge  is  seen,  followed  in  a  fev/  hours  by  a  thick  acrid 
matter.  Use  a  clinical  thermometer  in  the  rectum;  tem- 
perature will  be  101  to  103,  and  this  will  soon  rise  to  104  or 
even  to  106,  the  cough  changing  to  a  deep,  heavy  distressing 
one  ;  pulse  is  quickened  to  50  or  60.  The  horse  steps  around 
and  shows  signs  of  much  pain ;  films  in  his  eyes  which  nearly 
close,  scant  urine.  When  you  notice  any  of  these  svmptoms, 
watch  out  for  Distemper. 

Treatment. — At  the  outset  remember  care  and  careful 
nursing  will  be  a  great  factor  in  saving  your  horse.  Blan- 
ket him  well.  Give  him  plenty  of  pure  air,  have  no  air 
draughts  strike  him  j  fresh  cold  water,  little  at  a  time  and 
feed  often  anything  that  he  will  eat,  trying  all  things.  He 
has  lost  his  appetite  and  needs  everything  to  maintain  his 
strength.  Mix  a  Horse  Renovator  in  his  feed  two  or  three 
times  a  day ;  if  he  will  not  eat,  mix  one  with  a  little  mo- 
lasses and  spread  it  on  his  tongue  at  intervals,  so  he  will 
have  two  or  three  a  day.  Give  Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops 
and  Distemper  Remedy  in  all  its  stages.  Give  thirty-drop 
doses  once  in  twenty  minutes  for  two  or  three  hours ;  put 
them  in  his  mouth  well  back  on  the  roots  of  his  tongue ; 
later  on,  as  soon  as  he  shows  signs  of  relief,  give  the  doses 
once  in  two  hours,  night  and  day  for  two  or  three  days,  or 
as  long  as  he  shows  signs  of  fever.  Steam  head  and  nostrils 
with  Daniels'  Liniment  Powder,  and  bathe  forehead  with 
same  ;  by  using  water  that  throws  off  a  little  steam  at  first 
you  can  gradually  use  it  much  hotter  for  steaming.  If  the 
throat  is  much  sore,  wet  the  same  with  water,  and  apply 
Oster-Cocus  Liniment  externally  twice  daily  until  swelling

and  soreness  go  down.  Don't  rub  hard  enough  to  blister. 
Continue  feeding  Horse  Renovator  for  two  or  three  weeks 
twice  daily.  The  horse  requires  a  tonic  to  regain  his  lost 
strength,  and  there  is  nothing  better.  This  treatment  will 
bring  your  horse  out  well  and  strong.  Many  cheap  and  un- 
reliable "medicines"  advertised  for  the  cure  of  Distemper  are 
dangerous  and  untried  remedies,  often  leaving  the  horse 
half  blind,  with  swollen  legs,  weak  kidneys,  dopey  and  half 
poisoned ;  beware  of  all  such.  Daniels'  Cough,  Cold,  Fever 
Drops  and  Distemper  Remedy  has  been  in  use  by  thousands 
of  horsemen  for  a  quarter  of  a  century. 

Should  any  swelling  or  enlargement  remain  after  distem- 
per, shave  off  the  hair  and  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent. 

Lung  Fever,  Pneumonia. — Inflammation  of  the  lungs, 
which  soon  causes  a  flow  of  secretion,  which  fills  up  the  air 
cells,  so  that  the  lungs  cannot  receive  all  the  air.  Conse- 
quently he  suffocates  and  dies,  or  else  the  lymph  is  absorbed 
into  the  system  and  he  recovers.  The  cause  of  this  com- 
mon and  dangerous  disease  is  the  taking  of  a  sudden  cold, 
which,  being  neglected,  rapidly  settles  on  the  lungs,  and  you 
should  give  prompt  care  and  attention.  Every  minute  of 
delay  makes  the  cure  more  in  doubt.     See  chart,  fig.  13. 

Symptoms. — As  a  first  symptom  we  may  note  the  pulse, 
which  in  health  stands  about  40°,  now  rises  to  70°  or  100° 
to  the  minute  and  variable.  Taking  his  temperature  with 
the  thermometer,  we  find  it  over  100°,  probably  103°  or  a 
little  more.  He  is  weary,  but  will  not  lie  down,  breathing 
accelerated,  stands  braced  and  rigid,  hangs  the  head,  ap- 
pearance dull.  These  are  all  symptoms  of  lung  fever,  but 
they  are  also  symptoms  of  other  complications.  The  real 
test  is  the  sound  of  the  lungs  themselves,  by  tapping  on  the 
side,  when  they  sound  dull,  or  by  putting  the  ear  to  his  side 
and  listening  to  the  sound  of  the  air  passing  .'irough  the 
lungs,  and  then  sounding  a  well  horse.  If  pleurisy  ex- 
ists the  animal  flinches  when  struck  in  the  sounding. 

Treatment.  —  Is  similar  to  that  advised  for  Distemper. 
It  is  of  utmost  importance  to  take  it  in  its  first  stages.  If 
the  stable  is  close  or  smells  of  ammonia,  remove  him  at  once 
where  he  can  have  plenty  of  pure  air,  not  a  draught.  Cover 
every  part  of  him  with  warm  blankets  and  bandages,  rub- 
bing the  legs  until  warm  and  bandage  as  far  up  as  they  are

cold ;  when  removing  bandages  rub  on  a  little  Oster-Cocus. 
Give  all  the  cold  water  he  will  drink.  Let  his  food  be  bran 
mashes,  cooked  carrots  and  clean,  nice  hay.  Give  Daniels' 
Fever  Drops  once  in  thirty  minutes  for  two  to  four  hours  * 
later  on,  once  an  hour.  Give  at  least  two  doses  of  Horse 
Renovator  each  day,  as  the  strength  must  be  kept  up  at  all 
hazards.  When  the  pulse  gets  down  near  40°  to  50°  or  the 
horse  sweats  profusely,  leave  off  giving  the  Fever  Drops  so 
often,  as  after  this  stage  is  reached  he  will  need  good  care 
and  not  much  medicine.  If  the  horse  seems  very  weak,  as  a 
stimulant,  give  six  ounces  of  whiskey  or  brandy  in  a  pint  of 
water  every  five  or  six  hours ;  if  constipated,  give  warm 
soap-suds  injections  occasionally.  If  he  is  too  weak  to  eat 
ordinary  foods,  try  corn  on  the  cob,  carrots,  apples,  bread; 
possibly  he  will  drink  milk;  give  him  all  he  will  take,  add 
three  beaten  eggs  to  the  milk. 

Congestion  or  Inflammation  of  the  Lungs. — So  easily 
contracted  and  so  easily  fatal.  Just  a  little  over-exertion, 
a  severe  taxing  of  the  nervous  system,  and  only  a  little 
carelessness  or  neglect  will  under  exposure  easily  and  quick- 
ly result  in  the  ruin  or  loss  of  a  valuable  horse.    See  fig.  17. 

The  trained  track  horse  is  not  usually  afflicted  with  this 
trouble ;  it  falls  to  the  lot  of  the  horse  hired  for  the  day 
or  to  one  owned  and  driven  beyond  his  endurance,  perhaps 
until  he  falls  from  exhaustion ;  or  a  horse  in  high  condition 
standing  in  the  stable,  lacking  regular  exercise,  is  taken 
out  and  rapidly  driven  several  miles ;  his  nostrils  are  di- 
lated, the  flanks  heave,  distressed  countenance,  breathing 
next  to  suffocation,  the  lungs  become  engorged  with  blood 
and  congestion  of  the  lungs  is  on.  Insufficient  and  bad  air 
in  stables  and  smoke  may  cause  it,  while  other  diseases 
may  contribute  to  congestion.  If  from  exhaustion,  stop 
where  you  are,  don't  even  walk  him ;  let  him  stand  still, 
remove  the  harness,  rub  the  body  and  legs  with  straw  or 
cloths ;  get  all  the  help  you  can  to  do  this  rubbing ;  give  30- 
drop  doses  of  Fever  Drops  every  15  minutes  for  an  hour, 
then  once  every  half  hour  antil  temperature  is  normal. 
After  circulation  is  restored,  bandage  the  legs,  cover  with 
blanket,  continue  to  rub  the  body,  give  stimulants,  brandy, 
or  whiskey,  the  one  most  handy,  drench  with  two  ounces  of 
spirits  of  nitrous  ether  or  same  quantity  of  alcohol  in  a  pint

of  water  every  hour  or  so,  or  a  pint  of  whiskey  in  a  pint 
of  water  every  hour  for  three  or  four  hours.  As  soon  as 
relieved,  get  into  a  comfortable  stall.  Keep  blanketed, 
legs  bandaged,  pure  air  and  water ;  feed  grass,  carrots,  bran 
mashes,  scalded  oats,  etc.  Always  add  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  to  the  feed  at  this  time.  Rest  and  light  work 
when  recovered.  Congestion  of  the  lungs  often  leads  to 
pneumonia.     See  chart,  fig.  14-16. 

There  are  two  things  the  prudent  stablekeeper,  horse- 
owner  and  driver  should  always  keep  on  hand,  Daniels* 
Colic  Drops  and  Daniels'  Fever  Drops.  CoHc  and  Chills 
if  not  promptly  relieved  are  most  liable  to  run  too  far  in 
their  rapid  course  before  professional  service  can  be  obtained. 
They  can  be  easily  overcome  by  the  most  inexperienced  if 
they  have  the  proper  remedies  at  hand  and  know  what  to  do 
and  do  it  at  once ;  there  are  several  good  prescriptions  for 
either  of  these  attacks  available,  and  are  of  more  or  less 
value,  but  for  quick  work,  satisfactory  results,  and  easy, 
simple  treatment,  none  are  equal  to  Daniels'  Colic  Drops 
for  Colic,  and  Daniels'  Cough,  Cold,  Fever  and  Distemper 
Remedy  for  chills,  colds  and  lung  troubles.  With  these  two 
remedies  in  hand,  with  prompt  action  and  good  care,  one 
need  never  fear  for  his  stock.  A  horse  will  never  die  from 
Colic  if  this  famous  cure  is  administered  in  any  reasonable 
time ;  and  colds,  pneumonia,  congestion  of  lungs  from  ex- 
posure, fever  and  distempers  will  rarely  occur  if  Daniels' 
Cough,  Cold  and  Fever  Drops  are  promptly  given,  and 
reasonable  care  is  observed. 

Pleurisy. — Inflammation  of  the  membraneous  lining  of 
the  lungs  and  chest. 

Symptoms. — A  chill,  staring  coat,  coldness  of  the  strrface 
of  the  body.  Breathes  not  as  short  or  as  quick  as  in  pneu- 
monia. Signs  of  pain  similar  to  Colic.  Paws,  and  some- 
times lies  down ;  grows  sore  and  stiff ;  generally  has  a  short 
dry  cough.    See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  15. 

Treatment. — Give  30-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Cough, 
Cold  and  Fever  Drops  every  30  minutes  for  two  hours. 
Wet  a  blanket  in  a  solution  of  hot  Liniment  Powder  and 
bind  over  the  chest  and  lungs,  keeping  hot  with  a  dry  one, 
repeating  often  for  one  or  two  hours,  after  which  bathe  the 
chest  and  lungs  with  Oster-Cocus  to  keep  up  circulation.

Avoid  draughts ;  feed  bran  mashes  once  or  twice  a  day,  and 
always  add  a  dose  of  Horse  Renovator ;  in  fact  give  Horse 
Renovator  twice  a  day  for  two  or  three  weeks  in  the  feed. 

Difficult  Breathing. — It  should  have  attention  and 
treatment  at  once.  Promptness  often  prevents  many  se- 
rious diseases.  Give  30-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Cough, 
Cold  and  Fever  Drops  every  30  minutes  for  two  to  four 
hours.  Blanket  warm;  avoid  draughts;  rub  on  the  chest 
and  lungs  a  little  Oster-Cocus  Liniment.  Give  a  warm  bran 
mash,  adding  one  dose  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator. 
This  little  effort  will  usually  prevent  the  horse  coming  down 
with  Distemper  or  some  other  throat  or  lung  trouble.  If 
from  obstruction,  thickening  or  swellings  they  should  be  re- 
duced with  Daniels'  Absorbent. 

Cerebro-Spinal  Meningitis. — An  inflammation  of  the 
brain,  spinal  cord  and  their  nerve  centers ;  paralysis,  dizzi- 
ness, sudden  falling  to  the  ground ;  neck  and  back  muscles 
contract  so  suddenly  as  to  sometimes  draw  the  head  back ; 
eyes  wild  and  head  tossed  about ;  high  fever ;  delirium. ;  unless 
relieved,  death  ensues  in  four  to  twenty-four  hours. 

Treatment. — Is  of  little  use,  but  in  some  instances  success 
may  be  attained.  Isolate ;  give  Daniels'  Physic  Ball  and 
promptly  give  thirty  drops  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  No.  1 
every  half  hour  until  eight  doses  have  been  given ;  blanket 
warm ;  if  the  urine  is  not  passed  use  catheter.  Support  in 
sling ;  inhalations  of  hot  Liniment  Powder.  Apply  freely 
Oster-Cocus  to  neck,  spine  and  throat;  repeated  doses  of 
four  to  six  ounces  of  whiskey  to  quart  of  milk;  give  four  to 
six  doses  of  Fever  Drops  at  intervals  of  30  minutes  to  allay 
fever.  Dose  of  Horse  Renovator  once  every  six  hours  in 
molasses;  mix  and  place  on  the  tongue.  Feed  soft  food, 
mashes,  adding  a  dose  of  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Horse  Renova- 
tor daily  w^hen  convalescing.  Allow  plenty  of  fresh  water, 
clean  sanitary  conditions,  a  complete  change  of  food  for  all 
the  horses  in  the  stable.  Disinfect  everything  in  and  about 
the  premises. 

Strangles, — Simply  a  form  of  horse  distemper,  occuring 
mostly  in  young  horses,  similar  to  catarrh.     Treat  as  such. 

Symptoms. — Horse  is  generally  out  of  sorts,  neck  becomes 
stiff  and  sore,  an  enlargement  or  tumor  appears  between  the 
branches  of  the  jaw.     There  is  a  discharge  of  yellow  matter 

Home    Treatment    for   Horses   and   Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.      27 

from  the  nostrils.     The  horse  is  able  in  this  condition  to 
drink  but  little.     See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  20. 

Treatment. — Put  in  well  ventilated  stall,  with  comfortable 
clothing.  Rub  and  bandage  the  legs.  Give  bran  mashes, 
boiled  oats,  carrots,  and  roots,  and  a  dose  of  Horse  Reno- 
vator twice  a  day.  Give  a  few  doses  of  Cough,  Cold  and 
Fever  Drops  morning  and  night  until  the  fever  is  allayed. 
The  swelling  should  be  poulticed  and  brought  to  a  head 
when  it  can  be  lanced  and  healed  with  Daniels'  Wonder 
Worker  Lotion.     See  chart,  fig.  23. 

Strangles,  Colt  III. — Simply  remove  the  cause; nature 
will  do  the  rest,  unless  they  show  colicky  pains  and  scour, 
in  which  case  give  three  or  four  small  doses  of  Colic  Drops 
each  day,  six  to  ten  drops  each  at  intervals  of  half  hour. 

Bloody  Flux,  Dysentery. — Easily  discernible. 

Treatment. — Mix  three  oz.  castor  oil,  one  pt.  linseed  oil  and 
two  oz.  laudanum,  give  as  a  drench ;  30-drop  doses  of  Daniels' 
No.  1  Colic  Drops  every  ten  minutes  until  six  or  eight  doses 
are  given,  or  a  change  is  noted,  then  give  same  size  dose  once 
an  hour  from  six  to  eight  hours ;  mix  one  of  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  with  molasses  into  a  ball  and  give  immediately 
after  the  first  doses  of  No.  1  Colic  Drops.  Give  clysters  of 
warm  water  at  intervals  until  a  change  is  noted ;  a  sponge 
kept  wet  in  warm  water  and  applied  to  the  rectum  will  give 
relief.  To  give  strength,  take  four  ounces  of  cod  liver  oil, 
mix  it  in  warm  water  with  four  eggs  and  give  as  a  drench. 
For  feed  give  bran  and  wheat  flour,  of  equal  parts  browned 
in  the  oven,  mixing  one  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator,  give 
as  a  mash ;  good  clean  hay,  no  grain  for  two  or  three  days, 
or  until  excretions  are  normal. 

Weed,  Lymphangitis. — Inflammation  of  the  absorbent 
vessels  of  the  hind  legs.  Caused  by  high  feeding,  over- 
feeding, with  too  little  exercise,  and  is  more  often  seen  in 
heavy  work  horses,  noticeable  in  particular  on  Monday  fol- 
lowing a  day  of  rest,  so  much  so  in  some  localities  the 
disease  is  known  as  "Monday  morning  leg."  See  chart,  fig.21. 

Symptoms. — First  located  in  the  hind  legs;  one  usually  is 
swollen  considerably  larger  than  its  mate,  mostly  on  the 
inside,  often  running  from  the  foot,  involving  the  entire 
limb  ;  much  heat,  tender,  favors  and  holds  from  the  ground  ; 
often  has  chills  and  shivers.     Frequently  the  horse  has  pre- 

HoME  Treatment  for    Horses    and    Cattle 


28        Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

viously  suffered  from  colic,  constipation,  loss  of  appetite, 
may  have  great  thirst ;  unless  relieved,  the  swelling  increases 
and  forms  abcesses.  Once  having  this  disease,  we  may 
look  for  its  repeating  itself  frequently  until  the  sw^ollen  leg 
becomes  permanent. 

Treatment. — At  the  first  symptoms  of  chill  give  several 
doses  of  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  of  30  drops  each  at  intervals  of 
half  an  hour  to  reduce  the  temperature ;  blanket  and  keep 
warm;  give  a  Physic  Ball;  add  Liniment  Powder  to  hot 
water ;  foment  the  limb  with  cloths  wrung  out  as  hot  as  pos- 
sible and  wound  about  the  leg ;  bran  mash  with  a  dose  of 
Horse  Renovator  should  be  the  feed  for  a  day  or  two ;  put 
into  the  drinking  water  about  an  ounce  of  saltpetre  three- 
times  a  day.  Of  course  if  the  swelling  reaches  the  stage  of 
abscess  it  may  be  poulticed,  opened,  drained  and  cleansed 
with  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus ;  then  apply  Wonder  Worker 
Lotion  to  heal. 

When  the  swelling  has  become  permanent  continued  use 
of  the  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  for  external  application,  good 
rubbing  and  laxative  feed,  helped  along  by  Daniels'  Physic 
Ball,  linseed  oil  and  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  will  give  the 
best  results. 

Thumps. — Generally  confounded  with  palpitation  of  the 
heart,  but  is  in  no  wise  connected  with  this  trouble,  it 
being  a  spasm  of  the  Diaphragm. 

Treatment. — Avoid  all  over-exertion  and  excitement ;  let 
the  animal  stand  still.  Give  in  all  rases  30-drop  doses  of 
Daniels'  Fever  Drops  every  half  hour  for  three  hours  daily 
for  several  days,  and  three  or  four  doses  of  Colic  Drops  may 
be  given  each  day  at  intervals  of  half  an  hour.  It  is  better  to 
give  the  Fever  Drops  at  night  and  Colic  Drops  in  the  morn- 
ing. Care  as  to  the  diet  and  treatment  will  be  of  much 
importance. 

Temperature  of  the  Horse. — The  normal  temperature 
of  the  body  varies  from  98  to  100  degrees  Fahrenheit.  A 
temperature  of  102  to  103  is  moderate;  feverish,  from  104 
to  105  is  high,  and  106  is  excessive.  This  elevation  of  tem- 
perature can  be  felt  by  the  hand  placed  in  the  mouth  of  the 
animal  or  in  the  rectum,  and  may  be  felt  to  a  certain  extent 
over  any  part  of  the  body  and  in  the  breath  of  the  animal. 
Ears  or  legs  may  be  cold :  if  so,  it  indicates  a  debilitated

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.       29 

condition  of  the  animal  and  also  a  poor  circulation  of  the 
blood. 

The  Qinical  Fever  Thermometer  is  the  only  accurate 
means  of  telling  the  exact  temperature.  See  the  colored  il- 
lustration, fig.  32. 

To  USE  THE  Thermometer. — Raise  the  horses's  tail  and 
carefully  insert  the  bulb  or  heavy  end  of  the  thermometer 
about  two-thirds  its  length  into  the  rectum.  Let  it  remain 
six  to  eight  minutes.  On  removing  it  note  the  exact  top 
of  the  column  of  mercury  as  registered,  which  will  show  the 
temperature  of  the  horse. 

To  READ  THE  THERMOMETER. — Hold  the  sharp  edge  of 
the  glass  toward  you  in  a  horizontal  position  just  below  and 
across  the  line  of  vision  as  illustrated  on  the  chart ;  rolling 
it  slightly  backward  and  forward  in  this  position,  you  will  see 
the  column  of  mercury  running  immediately  above  the  fig- 
ures which  will  appear  in  the  Dr.  Daniels  magnifying  ther- 
mometer nearly  an  eighth  of  an  inch  wide. 

Put  THE  Instrument  Aside,  as  the  mercury  will  remain 
at  highest  point  until  shaken  down,  and  shows  you,  when 
ready  to  use  again,  just  what  the  degree  of  fever  was  when 
used  before;  one  can  then  easily  tell  whether  the  fever  is 
rising  or  falling. 

After  Using. — The  proper  way  of  shaking  down  the 
Register  Mercurial  Column  of  the  Clinical  Thermometer  is  to 
take  hold  of  instrument  with  thumb  and  forefinger  as  cut 
illustrates  in  chart,  and  give  a  full  arm  downward  swing 
ending  up  with  a  jerk,  throwing  the  mercury  to  the  bulb. 
In  this  way  two  or  three  swings  will  in  nearly  all  cases  be 
sufficient  to  place  column  in  position  for  further  use. 

The  Pulse. — Colored  illustration  shows  how  to  take  the 
pulse.  It  is  frequently  of  great  importance  to  note  the  pul- 
sations of  the  heart  in  treating  disease.  When  at  rest  the 
pulse  beats  at  an  average  of  about  40  per  minute,  but  varies 
in  difl;erent  horses  from  34  to  42.  In  colts  and  old  horses  it 
runs  much  higher,  sometimes  to  60  and  over,  and  still  the 
health  be  good.  It  will  also  be  increased  by  hot  stables, 
excitement  and  pregnancy.  The  most  convenient  place  to 
feel  the  horse's  pulse  is  on  the  under  side  of  the  lower  jaw. 
Press  the  fingers  along  the  edge  of  the  jaw,  when  a  cord  or 
ridge  will  be  felt.     Press  on  this  with  the  fingers,  when  you 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


30       Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

will  feel  it  throb.  A  very  little  practice  in  "taking  the 
pulse"  will  soon  make  it  plain  to  you,  and  is  liable  to  be  of 
great  service.  Any  great  variation  in  the  pulse  is  a  sign 
of  disease.  If  it  is  rapid  and  hard  it  indicates  high  fever 
and  inflammation ;  if  weak  and  rapid,  there  is  low  fever  and 
general  weakness  and  lung  trouble.     See  chart,  fig.  22. 

In  cattle  the  pulse  is  faster  than  in  the  horse ;  young,  55 
to  65 ;  adults,  40  to  50  ;  aged,  40  to  45.  Sheep  still  faster — 
60  to  70.     Dogs,  80  to  90  beats  per  minute. 

Respiration  in  Healthy  Animals. — A  horse  breathes  in 
a  minute  10  to  12  times  ;  a  cow,  15  to  18  times ;  a  sheep,  14 
to  18  times ;  a  dog,  15  to  20  times. 

In  health,  the  blood  of  a  horse  is  pure,  having  a  proper' 
division  of  red  and  white  blood  corpuscles,  the  red  supply- 
ing nutrition  to  the  muscular  tissues  and  the  white  attacking 
poison  germs  and  acting  as  scavengers  of  the  circulatory  sys- 
tem. In  a  healthy  horse  it  requires  a  second  or  two  over 
half  a  minute  for  the  blood  to  make  a  complete  circuit 
through  the  arteries,  capillaries  and  veins  and  about  twenty- 
seven  contractions  of  the  heart. 

The  ordinary  rate  of  respiration  when  at  rest,  is  from 
twelve  to  thirteen  per  minute.  In  a  horse,  respiration  is 
more  regular  than  in  other  animals  and  an  increase  in  the 
rate  of  breathing  when  the  animal  is  at  rest,  is  a  sure  indi- 
cation of  some  disturbance  in  the  natural  working  of  the 
system,  yet  at  the  same  time  greater  attention  should  be 
given  to  any  peculiar  action  of  respiration  than  to  the  fre- 
quency of  the  act.  In  case  of  pleurisy,  however,  when  the 
act  of  breathing  from  the  chest  is  painful,  the  muscles  of  the 
abdomen  are  made  to  perform  the  office  at  will.  The  in- 
spiration of  a  healthy  animal  is  longer  than  the  expiration. 

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Cough,  Cold,  Fever  Drops  and 
Distemper  Remedy  is  offered  as  a  medicine  far  superior 
to  anything  heretofore  known  as  a  specific  for  Colds,  Coughs, 
Chills,  Epizootic,  Distemper,  Pinkeye,  Sunstroke,  Pneu- 
monia, Lung  Fever,  Throat  Troubles,  Meningitis,  and  Fevers 
of  every  kind.  For  shippers  it  is  worth  its  weight  in  gold. 
For  acclimating  horses  it  has  no  equal.  It  is  a  perfect  cure 
for  Milk  Fever  in  cows  and  Hog  Cholera  in  swine. 

All  these  dangerous  ills  are  caused  by  atmospheric  chan- 
ges, ill  ventilated,  foul  smelling  and  damp  stables,  exposure,

neglect,  overwork,  and  even  cruelty.  Western  horses  are 
prone  to  contract  Shipper's  Fever,  Distemper,  or  kindred 
ills.  Thousands  upon  thousands  of  valuable  horses  are  tak- 
en off  by  these  afflictions  every  year,  in  a  few  days'  time. 
Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Cough,  Cold,  Fever  Drops  and  Distemper 
Remedy  is  an  insurance  against  ills  from  these  troubles  if 
properly  administered  in  time ,  cures  and  leaves  no  after- 
math, no  weakness,  no  swollen  limbs,  no  blindness  or  other 
affliction.     Prevents  disease ;  saves  expense. 

Glanders. — A  dangerous,  incurable,  contagious  disease. 
Slaughter  at  once.  Disinfect  all  surroundings,  stall,  stable, 
etc.  Carbo-Negus  is  the  greatest  germ  killer  of  the  age. 
Four  to  six  spoonfuls  to  quart  of  hot  water.  Glanders  and 
Farcy  are  one  and  the  same,  differing  only  that  the  term 
Glanders  is  applied  when  the  local  lesions  predominate  in 
the  internal  organs,  lungs  and  air  tubes.  Farcy,  when  the 
manifestation  is  an  outbreak  of  the  lesions  on  the  exterior 
or  skin.  Glanders  applies  to  both  forms.  Farcy  is  limited 
to  the  visible  appearance  of  external  trouble  only.  Glanders 
is  contagious,  easily  communicated  to  man,  sheep,  goats, 
dogs,  cats,  rabbits,  etc.,  variable  in  its  course,  but  death 
sure.  It  is  a  disease  forming  connective  tissue  or  tuber- 
cles, which  turn  to  ulcers  and  exude  a  peculiar  discharge. 
Fever  is  present,  and  complications  of  lymphatic  glands, 
of  the  lungs  and  internal  organs.  Glanders  is  one  of  the 
most  ancient  of  diseases.  Stable  attendants  serve  as  one 
of  the  most  common  carriers.  Dried  or  fresh  discharges 
are  collected  from  the  infected  animal  in  cleaning,  harness- 
ing, feeding,  handling,  from  clothing,  currycomb,  brush, 
bridle,  halter,  etc.  Public  watering  troughs,  feed  boxes, 
etc.,  are  often  responsible  for  its  spread.  Glanders  can  ex- 
ist without  being  apparent.  Even  the  most  experienced 
veterinarian  may  not  be  cognizant  of  its  presence.  The 
primary  symptoms  are  the  result  of  inoculation,  later  the 
poison  is  carried  by  means  of  the  blood  to  other  parts  of 
the  body.  Chronic  Farcy  is  noticed  in  the  formation  of  lit- 
tle nodules  under  the  skin,  soon  infringing  the  skin  itself. 
These  are  known  as  "buds"  or  buttons  and  soon  produce 
ulcers,  irregular  in  shape,  ragged  edges  overhang  the  sores 
that  have  g  gray,  dirty  bottom,  discharging  thin  or  puru- 
lent, mixed  with  a  sticky,  yellowish  substance  somewhat

32       Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

the  color  of  olive  oil.  This  discharge  alone  is  almost  diag- 
nostic. While  resembling  Grease  Heel  and  certain  attacks 
of  Lymphangitis,  it  is  characteristic.  The  discharge  gath- 
ers on  the  hair  surrounding  the  ulcer,  dries  in  a  scab-like 
formation,  growing  in  size  and  thickness  until  it  falls  off. 
These  buttons  occur  more  frequently  on  the  lips,  neck,  low- 
er part  of  shoulders,  inside  the  thighs  and  outside  the  leg. 
Often  a  cough  is  developed  something  similar  to  that  no- 
ticed in  heaves ;  sudden  swelling  in  one  hind  leg  near  the 
canon,  extending  sometimes  below  the  pastern  or  as  high  as 
the  stifle ;  this  swelling  may  be  indented  with  pressure. 

Glanders  in  a  chronic  state  may  exist  for  a  long  time,, 
brought  to  an  acute  stage  by  some  sudden  exposure  or  low 
ground  conditions,  same  symptoms  more  or  less  marked, 
as  indicated  in  Farcy.  A  rapid  outbreak  of  tubercules  in 
the  respiratory  tract  degenerating  into  ulcers,  which  force 
from  the  nostrils  considerable  of  a  discharge.  The  salient 
features  of  the  disease  are  the  formation  of  small  ulcers, 
soon  growing  larger  and  irregular,  and  containing  round 
cells  filled  with  serous  fluid ;  the  lymphatic  glands  swell, 
etc. ;  the  process  goes  on  mostly  in  the  cutaneous  and  sub- 
cutaneous tissues  and  passages,  particularly  attacking  the 
nose.  When  the  cutaneous  symptoms  are  in  abeyance  and 
the  mucous  membrane  of  the  nose  discharges  profusely,  we 
term  it  Glanders.  When  there  is  little  or  no  discharge  from 
the  nose,  but  the  cutaneous  conditions  are  well  developed, 
we  term  it  Farcy.  When  in  any  doubt  get  a  veterinary 
surgeon.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  24-25-26. 

Symptoms. — Coughing,  Farcy  buttons,  enlargements  of 
glands,  bleeding  from  the  nose,  swollen  hind  legs,  difficult 
respiration  follows,  flanks  heave,  temperature  reaches  103  to 
105,  and  other  symptoms  of  acute  form  resembling  Lung 
Fever  or  Pneumonia.  Great  care  should  be  exercised  and 
expert  evidence  should  be  summoned  in  all  doubtful  cases 
of  Glanders.  The  greatest  precaution  should  be  taken  in 
handling  a  glandered  horse,  as  the  slightest  abrasion  is  liable 
to  transmit  the  disease  to  the  attendant  and  it  is  sure  death. 
One  must  not  confound  ordinary  Water  Farcy  with  these 
dangerous  forms  of  disease. 

Write  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels  if  further  advice  is  desired,  and 
you  will  receive  prompt  reply  at  all  times  to  your  inquiries.

CHAPTER  III. 

DISEASES  OF  THE  DIGESTIVE  ORGANS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  and  its  use  in  the  treatment  of 
Heaves,  Coughs,  Colds,  Dyspepsia,  Indigestion,  Loss  of  Appetite,  Stocked 
Legs,  Hidebound,  Impoverished  Blood,  Congestion  of  Liver,  Apoplexy, 
Dropsy,  Anaemia,  Aborting,  Roaring,  Jaundice,  Staggers,  Mad  Staggers, 
Blind  Staggers,  Megrim  Fits,  Strangles,  Slobbering,  Fits,  Fitting  Horses 
for  Sale,  Crib  Biting,  Mares,  Stallions,  Etc. 

Diseases  of  the  Digestive  Organs. — Abnormal  appe- 
tite usually  indicates  worms  or  irritation  of  the  stomach. 
Teeth  are  often  the  fault.  See  they  are  all  right.  Avoid  ir- 
regular or  overfeeding,  or  dusty,  musty  and  poor  food  and 
unsanitary  conditions.  In  diarrhoea  the  discharges  from 
the  bowels  are  frequent  and  watery;  in  constipation,  in- 
frequent, dry  and  hard.  When  an  animal  passes  blood,  it 
is  generally  from  dysentery,  piles,  ulcers  in  the  bowels,  or 
rupture.  Swelling  of  the  belly,  unusual  discharges  of  wind, 
and  fits  of  giddiness  are  common  in  colic  and  indigestion 
and  from  worms.     Watch  the  signs. 

Dyspepsia. — Chronic  Indigestion  as  a  rule  would  not  ex- 
ist if  the  horse  was  properly  fed  and  cared  for  with  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator.  Indigestion  causes  many  other  troubles 
for  the  horse. 

Symptoms. — Irregular  appetite,  and  bolting  his  food,  de- 
praved appetite,  eating  soiled  bedding,  wood,  even  his  own 
excrescence  ;  bowels  irregular  and  bad  smelling,  grain  passed 
whole,  hay  impacted,  excessive  amount  of  gas,  poor  in  flesh, 
hide-bound  and  rough  coat. 

Treatment. — Prepare  the  horse  for  and  give  him  one  of 
Dr.  Daniels'  Physic  Balls;  observe  the  directions  laid  down 
in  giving  Physic  Balls.  Feed  bran  mashes  with  a  dose  of 
Horse  Renovator  added  until  operation  of  physic  ;  then  long 
hay  for  first  day ;  then  regular  feed,  plenty  of  carrots  and 
roots,  but  add  Horse  Renovator  morning  and  night  for  a 


Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


34       Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

week  or  so,  then  once  a  day;  water  before  feeding.  Avoid 
overwork  and  exposure.  Keep  stable  clean,  and  remember 
the  horse  requires  five  times  the  air  that  you  do,  but  avoid 
draughts. 

Aborting. — Causes  are  numerous;  cold  and  wet,  indiges- 
tible food,  colic,  poor  condition  of  the  blood,  putrid  water, 
certain  plants,  savin  or  rue ;  cantharides ;  poisonous  medi- 
cines, as  opium,  digitalis,  various  salts,  ergotized  plants, 
purgatives,  fright,  excitement,  adulterated  stock  foods,  etc. 

Treatment. — First  prevent.  Every  care  should  be  exer- 
cised to  give  proper  protection,  food,  air  and  drink,  when 
with  foal.  Keep  the  mare  in  condition  by  the  best  of  food, 
care  and  treatment  during  pregnancy.  Feed  warm  bran 
mashes  about  twice  a  week,  and  put  into  them  one  of  Dr. 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovators ;  and  for  ten  days  out  of  each 
month,  feed  one  of  these  Powders  night  or  morning.  This 
treatment  and  careful  attention  will  reduce  this  trouble  to 
a  minimum.  In  case  of  aborting  isolate  from  other  animals 
and  bury  foetus  ;  disinfect  the  stable  and  surroundings  v/ith 
Carbo-Negus. 

For  Mares. — In  a  majority  of  cases,  when  the  mare  fails 
"to  take,"  a  few  weeks'  treatment  with  Dr.  Daniels  Horse 
Renovator  from  once  to  twice  a  day  in  the  feed  will  put  her 
in  proper  condition. 

For  Stallions. — Run  down  and  "indifferent,"  give  a 
dose  of  Horse  Renovator  daily,  morning  and  night  in  the 
feed  for  a  week,  then  one  a  day  for  two  weeks,  and  you  will 
be  surprised  at  results. 

Inflammation  of  Liver,  Yellows. — Give  Dr.  Daniels* 
Physic  Ball ;  follow  with  pint  linseed  oil ;  change  feed  to 
green  and  soft  variety,  chopped  roots,  mashes  with  Horse 
Renovator  daily,  to  keep  bowels  open  and  tone  the  s}- stem. 

If  you  occasionally  feed  a  dose  of  Horse  Renovator  in 
the  feed  for  a  week  or  ten  days,  3"0ur  horse  will  rarely  be 
troubled  with  liver,  bowel  or  stomach  diseases. 

Thrush  in  the  Mouth. — Caused  by  bad  condition  of  the 
stomach. 

Treatment. — Give  Physic  Ball ;  feed  bran  mashes  often  ;  put 
a  Horse  Renovator  in  feed  once  or  twice  a  day  for  two  weeks ; 
Wonder  Worker  Lotion  or  Dr.  Daniels'  Healing  Powder  ap- 
plied to  the  sores  with  soft  brush  or  sponge  will  heal  them.

Heaves,  Broken  Wind. — Result  of  carelessness  and  neg- 
lect.    See  colored  chart,  fig.  27-28. 

Treatment. — Have  a  clean  stable  and  fresh  air ;  feed  in 
small  quantities  and  often ;  moisten  oats  or  hay ;  use  crushed 
oats  if  possible ;  do  not  feed  corn  or  clover  hay  to  a  horse 
with  heaves.  Give  two  or  three  doses  of  Cough,  Cold  and 
Fever  Drops  morning  and  night,  or  a  dose,  whenever  the 
horse  coughs,  well  back  on  the  roots  of  the  tongue.  If 
constipated,  give  Dr.  Daniels'  Physic  Ball ;  give  often  warm 
bran  mashes,  always  adding  a  dose  of  Dr.  Dani^^ls'  Horse 
Renovator.  Always  water  before  feeding,  and  never  after, 
and  not  much  at  a  time.  Moistening  the  oats  and  hay  with 
a  little  lime  water  or  salted  water  prevents  the  dust  from 
flying  and  gives  good  results.  Give  the  Horse  Renovator 
twice  daily  for  one  week  and  omit  a  week,  repeating  every 
other  week  for  two  or  three  months,  or  until  the  horse  is  im- 
proved. Don't  feed  corn  or  meal.  Carrots,  turnips  and 
potatoes  chopped  and  mixed  with  the  oats  make  a  good 
feed.  Do  not  work  or  drive  the  horse  immediately  after 
feeding.  Care,  good  treatment  and  freedom  from  dust  will 
do  much  for  a  horse  with  heaves.  Remember  we  do  not 
claim  an  absolute  cure  for  Heaves. 

Anemia,  Impoverished  Blood. — Run  down  condition. 

Treatment.  —  Give  good  feed  and  water,  a  clean  stable 
and  fresh  air.  Give  bran  mash  frequently,  chopped  car- 
rots and  roots.  Build  up  the  blood  and  condition  by  free 
use  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator ;  giving  twice  daily  in  the 
feed  one  of  these  Powders  two  weeks  out  of  each  month  will 
make  new  blood  and  put  in  condition. 

Slobbering. — Don't  check  high.  Wash  the  mouth,  lips 
and  gums  frequently  with  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion 
when  they  are  sore  or  tender;  give  a  dose  of  Dr.  Daniels* 
Fever  Drops  three  times  daily ;  place  a  bucket  of  clean 
water  near,  so  that  he  may  have  it  to  cool  his  mouth ; 
feed  bran  mash  often ;  add  dose  of  Horse  Renovator  to  the 
feed  twice  a  day  for  a  week  at  a  time  in  each  month.  Be 
sure  the  teeth  are  in  proper  shape,  and  look  out  for  growths 
in  the  mouth. 

Apoplexy. — Apply  chopped  ice  to  the  head  in  bags, 
secured  by  proper  fastenings.  Give  Physic  Ball  to  purge. 
Bathe  and  rub  the  legs  in  hot  water.     If  much  excitement

36      Dr.  a.   C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

exists,  give  three  or  four  doses  of  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  at 
intervals  of  half  hour,  or  if  depression  shows  prominence, 
give  four  doses  daily  for  a  week  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  No. 
1.  Give  in  the  feed  twice  a  day  a  dose  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  for  a  week,  then  once  a  day  for  a  month;  bran 
mashes,  chopped  roots  and  soft  foods  for  diet. 

Loss  OF  Appetite. — First  look  out  for  teeth  and  mouth. 
Have  them  in  proper  condition. 

Treatment. — Feed  warm  bran  mashes  three  or  four  times 
a  week,  with  a  dose  of  Renovator  night  and  morning 
to  mash  or  feed.  No  molasses,  corn  or  meal  while  treating; 
feed  oats,  hay  and  roots.  Good  stable,  clean,  sanitary  con- 
ditions, exercise,  and  physic  if  required. 

Congestion  of  Liver. — Little  or  no  relief  can  be  given 
when  caused  by  fatty  degeneration. 

Treatment. — Give  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Physic  Ball ;  good 
digestible  food  with  one  dose  of  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  morning  and  night;  bran  mash  two  or  three 
times  a  week. 

Roaring,  Whistling. — Depending  on  colds,  influenza, 
etc. ;  can  be  often  overcome  by  care,  food,  etc. 

Treatment. — Give  three  or  four  doses  of  Fever  Drops  each 
day,  especially  at  night  after  a  day's  work.  For  food,  chop- 
ped hay  wet  with  lime  water  or  salted  and  mixed  with  oats 
crushed.  Give  less  bulky  foods.  Carrots,  and  roots  are 
good.  Do  all  you  can  to  keep  the  animal  in  good  condition. 
Avoid  all  stock  foods,  corn,  cotton  seed  and  fattening  foods. 
Give  frequently  Horse  Renovator  morning  and  night.  Ap- 
ply Daniels'  Absorbent  to  the  skin  of  the  laryngeal  region 
whenever  any  enlargement  or  swelling  or  thickening  of  the 
glands  can  be  found.  Avoid  dust,  over  driving  and  over- 
loading, and  take  1  drachm  of  powdered  nitre,  1  drachm 
powdered  opium,  1  drachm  powdered  camphor,  mux  into 
a  ball,  give  once  daily  before  feeding  and  allow  rest  after 
feeding.  Do  not  work  immediately  after  feeding.  Water 
before  feeding.     True  roaring  cannot  be  cured. 

Windy. — Due  to  indigestion,  dyspepsia,  etc. 

Treatment. — Feed  bran  mashes,  good  oats  and  hay  and 
Horse  Renovator  once  or  twice  a  day  in  the  feed.  Do  not 
feed  corn  excessively.  Exercise  daily  ;  sprinkle  the  hay  with 
lime  water.      Give  water  before  feeding,  not  after.     Do  not 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.   Daniels'  Veterinary   Medicines.     37 


work  immediately  after  a  meal.  Lump  of  rock  salt  in  man- 
ger.    A  Physic  Ball  is  often  desirable. 

Dropsy,  Water  Farcy. — Means  the  accumulations  of 
water  in  the  cavities  of  the  body,  belly,  sheath  and  legs ;  it  is 
simply  general  debility,  caused  by  neglect  and  carelessness. 

Treatment. — For  any  of  its  local  indications,  build  up  the 
run-down  condition ;  good  care,  regular  exercise,  plenty  of 
good  food,  with  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily ;  bran 
mashes,  roots,  and  soft  food  to  keep  the  bowels  open. 

Crib  Biting. — Use  muzzle.  Separate  from  other  horses. 
Have  iron  fittings  if  possible.  Feed  soft,  easily  digested 
food,  bran  mash  once  a  day,  mixing  one  dose  of  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  therein  and  be  sure  to  feed  the 
Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  for  a  couple  of  weeks  at  a  time ; 
chop  the  hay,  and  wet  it  with  lime  water.  Avoid  bad  hay, 
musty  oats,  etc.  Improve  the  digestion.  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse 
Renovator  is  the  main  thing  to  do  this. 

Wind  Sucking. — May  be  prevented  in  various  ways. 
Take  a  leather  strap  and  stud  with  sharp  pointed  nails, 
adjusted  opposite  the  lower  portion  of  the  jaw,  or  a  muzzle 
preventing  the  seizure  of  the  food  with  the  teeth.  Horses 
given  to  wind  sucking  and  cribbing  usually  have  indigestion 
and  colic  or  bowel  troubles  of  some  sort,  hence  it  is  well 
to  give  attention  to  the  feed;  soft  food,  mashes,  roots,  good 
oats  and  hay,  no  corn  or  stock  foods,  a  physic  occasionally ; 
Horse  Renovator  frequently;  in  short  put  the  horse  into 
condition. 

Jaundice. — Means  excessive  bile  and  torpid  liver. 

^Treatment.  —  Give  a  Physic  Ball  and  correct  the  diet, 
give  a  dose  of  Renovator  in  the  feed  morning  and  night, 
for  a  week  or  tAvo.  Avoid  dry  and  bulky  foods.  Give  roots, 
mashes,  and  soft  foods,  plenty  of  salt  and  exercise. 

Staggers. — In  horses — caused  by  defective  teeth,  worms, 
debility,  irregular  or  improper  feeding,  ravenous  feeding, 
etc.  In  colts — from  teething,  removal  from  dam  too  early, 
cold  milk,  suckling  when  dam  is  overheated,  etc. 

Symptoms. — ^When  not  engorged,  but  with  loss  of  appe- 
tite or  a  capricious  one  ;  tendency  to  eat  filth  ;  sore  mouth  ; 
much  thirst ;  hidebound,  dry  or  scurfy  skin ;  bowels  irreg- 
ular, much  wind,  frequently  a  dry  short  cough  and  some- 
times diarrhoea,  feces  dark  color  with  fetid  odor;  urine  is 


Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


38     Dr.   a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

dark  in  color,  leaving  a  red  sediment ;  worms ;  these  condi- 
tions lead  to  giddiness  and  fits  or  staggers. 

Treatment. — Give  a  Daniels'  Physic  Ball  at  once  ;  look  to 
the  mouth  and  teeth,  see  if  they  are  in  proper  condition; 
give  attention  to  the  feed ;  make  a  change  ;  give  roots,  good 
oats,  no  corn  or  meal  or  any  stock  food,  clean,  bright  hay, 
sprinkled  with  a  little  salt  or  lime  water ;  have  a  salt  brick, 
convenient  for  use;  feed  regularly,  a  moderate  quantity; 
bran  mashes  are  of  great  help ;  add  to  the  feed  for  a  week 
one  dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  twice  a  day,  then 
one  daily  ;  fresh  air,  pure  drinking  water,  sanitary  surround- 
ings. If  colicky  pains,  give  one  or  two  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'. 
Colic  Drops  after  feeding. 

Staggers. — If  from  engorgement,  which  is  shown  by  a 
pawing  of  the  forefeet,  the  near  one  in  particular,  belching, 
quick  pulse,  hard  breathing,  and  saliva  dribbling  from  the 
mouth.     See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  33. 

Treatment. — As  above  mentioned,  but  give  two  to  four 
doses  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  first,  at  intervals  of  ten  min- 
utes, and  for  purge  after  the  Physic  Ball  give  one  pint  lin- 
seed oil.     Also  give  a  warm  injection  of  soapy  water. 

Staggers,  Blind. — Congestion  or  inflammation  of  the 
brain,  caused  by  exposure  to  heat,  blows,  suppression  of 
urine,  poisoning,  tumors,  hard  driving  when  over-fat,  pres- 
sure of  ill-fitting  collar,  worms,  feeding  on  slops,  etc. 

Symptoms. — Dull,  listless,  sleepy,  breathes  slowly,  snores, 
a  slow  pulse,  staggers  in  his  walk,  looks  excited,  shivers, 
seems  frightened,  rears  and  elevates  his  head,  eyes  yellow 
and  bloodshot,  ears  and  feet  hot  and  cold  by  turns,  eyes 
fixed,  has  convulsions,  staggers,  perhaps  falls,  hangs  tongue 
out  of  mouth,  has  spasms  and  palsy,  urine  scant,  highly 
colored. 

Treatment. —  Bleeding  is  recommended,  but  this  to  the 
layman  is  no  easy  task,  hence  give  a  quick  physic,  Daniels' 
Physic  Ball  followed  at  once  by  pint  of  linseed  oil.  Place  the 
animal  in  a  dark  box  stall,  with  plenty  fresh  water  to  drink ;  a 
sponge  fixed  at  the  top  of  the  head,  kept  wet  with  ice 
water;  give  three  to  five  30-drop  doses  of  Fever  Drops  at 
intervals  of  half  hour.  Give  no  feed  until  recovery  or  until 
conditions  are  much  better,  then  particular  attention  should 
be  paid  in  this  direction.     The  cause  should  be  found  and

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.      39 

obviated.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  Powders  should  be 
given  twice  daily  in  the  feed,  for  a  tonic,  Fowler's  Solution 
may  be  given  daily;  begin  with  two  or  three  drops  twice  a 
day ;  increasing  dose  every  two  or  three  days  about  a  drop 
until  you  give  say  twelve  drops  during  the  day ;  then  discon- 
tinue. Worms  may  be  cause  of  trouble.  Treat  for  worms 
when  you  do  not  get  results  desired  and  as  a  final  effort. 

Mad  Staggers. — Acute  form  appears  suddenly,  with  vio- 
lent symptoms ;  flying  back  and  plunging  ahead  regardless 
of  surroundings,  quivering  all  over,  followed  by  rigid  mus- 
cles, along  the  neck  and  back ;  head  held  up,  eyes  back  in 
their  sockets;  convulsions,  delirium;  urine  is  discharged  in 
spurts,  fever  high  ;  soon  coma  and  death.  You  may  distinguish 
Meningitis  from  Encephalitis  and  Cerebritis,  because  there  is 
no  local  paralysis  or  coma  until  near  death.  All  the  brain 
troubles  are  similar  in  symptoms,  all  are  extremely  difficult 
in  treatment,  nearly  all  terminate  fatally  in  a  little  time ; 
hence  avoid  those  things  liable  to  affect  the  brain.     Fig.  34. 

Megrims  and  Fits. — Occur  in  debilitated  animals.  Are 
caused  by  overwork  when  too  fat,  badly  fitting  collar,  sun 
exposure,  constipation,  worms,  etc. 

Symptoms. — While  he  is  working,  suddenly  stops,  reels, 
trembles,  perhaps  falls,  remains  a  few  moments  more  or 
less  insensible,  gets  on  his  feet,  still  excited  and  nervous, 
remaining  so  for  hours  or  days.  There  seem  to  be  no 
Spasms,  just  fits,  which  occur  more  or  less  frequently. 

Treatment. — Remove  the  cause,  the  collar  in  particular; 
cover  the  eyes  with  wet  bandage,  ice  or  cold  water  to  head, 
place  in  a  quiet,  dark  stable,  give  three  or  four  doses  of 
Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  at  intervals  of  half  an  hour,  a 
Physic  Ball,  and  proper  attention  to  feed.  If  fat,  cut  down 
the  feed ;  if  heat,  protect  from  the  sun ;  if  the  legs  are  cold, 
rub  them  with  Dr.  Daniels'  Liniment,  Oster-Cocus.  Give  no 
corn  or  meal;  limit  the  hay,  but  have  quality  first  class; 
sanitary  stable,  pure  water,  bran  mashes,  clean  oats  and 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  in  the  feed  once  or  twice  daily. 
Such  horses  are  not  safe  for  family  use. 

Vertigo. — Caused  mainly  from  unsanitary  stables,  fa- 
tigue, injuries  and  indigestion.  Some  highly  irritable  and 
sensitive  horses  are  predisposed  to  it.  Usually  occurs  in 
hot  weather  or  early  in  the  summer.

40      Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

Symptoms. — After  having  been  lively  and  active  becomes 
at  once  heavy  and  indolent,  seeks  seclusion,  if  in  the  stable, 
and  is  dejected.  Eyes  fixed  and  stupid,  half  closed,  for- 
gets himself  and  all  else,  head  down.  If  moving,  gait  is 
heavy,  dragging  and  unsteady,  lifts  his  feet  absurdly  high, 
walking  like  a  machine,  and  grows  worse  along  these  lines, 
leans  to  one  side  when  w^alking,  fore  legs  beneath  the  belly. 
Seems  to  be  lifeless,  oblivious  to  everything.  No  fever  and 
pulse  low,  breathes  slowly ;  we  may  say  extreme  dizziness 
or  giddiness,  to  distinguish  from  other  brain  trouble. 

Treatment. — If  on  the  road,  stop  at  once,  loosen  the  check- 
rein  and  throat  latch,  allow  the  animal  to  stand  quietly. 
If  you  have  a  box  of  Daniels'  Colic  Drops  under  the  wagon 
seat,  give  him  three  or  four  30-drop  doses  of  No.  1,  at  in- 
tervals of  ten  minutes ;  if  not  soon  recovering,  lead  him  to 
a  stable  and  quiet  him  or  get  him  home  and  into  a  box  stall 
as  soon  as  possible  and  give  a  few  more  doses  of  Colic  Drops 
No.  1.  If  cold,  cover  with  warm  blankets.  When  feeding, 
give  warm  bran  mash,  adding  a  dose  of  Horse  Renovator. 
If  constipated,  a  dose  of  linseed  oil  and  bran  mashes,  good 
clean  oats  and  hay,  adding  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  twice 
a  day  for  a  week,  lump  of  salt,  plenty  of  pure  cold  water. 

Hidebound. — Run  down  condition.  Worms,  Indigestion. 

Treatment.  —  If  worms  are  indicated  give  Dr.  Daniels' 
Worm  treatment,  otherwise  give  a  Physic  Ball  and  change 
the  diet,  and  in  all  cases  w^here  low  condition  prevails  and 
the  animal  is  hidebound  give  bran  mash  daily,  other  feeds 
being  good  oats  and  bright  hay ;  roots  and  soft  foods  may 
be  included  and  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  should  be 
given,  a  dose  night  and  morning  for  a  week  or  so,  then  once 
a  day  for  a  short  time.  If  teeth  and  mouth  are  all  right 
this  treatment  will  put  the  animal  into  prime  condition. 

Bleeding  from  Nose. — Occurs  in  Influenza,  Bronchitis, 
Glanders,  Strangles.  Results  from  badly  ventilated  stables, 
poor  feed,  exhausting  work,  extreme  temperature,  injuries, 
sneezing,  rupture  of  blood  vessel,  usually  one  nostril. 

Treatment. — In  many  cases,  cold  water  on  face,  be- 
tween the  eyes  and  down  over  the  nostrils,  or  ice  in  small 
pieces  packed  in  a  bag  and  held  in  place  over  the  face  is 
effective,  or  plug  the  bleeding  nostril  with  cotton,  but  of 
course  never  plug  both  nostrils  at  same  time.

For  Coughs  and  Colds. — Whenever  your  horse  is  suffer- 
ing from  a  cough  or  cold  give  warm  bran  mash,  at  night, 
and  add  to  it  one  dose  of  Horse  Renovator.  Keep  well 
blanketed  and  give  a  few  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels*  Fever  Drops. 

For  Fitting  Horses. — When  run  down  in  condition,  or 
when  they  drive  lazy  and  are  dopey,  always  note  condition 
of  the  teeth  and  mouth ;  have  these  right.  Feed  good  oats, 
clean  hay,  chopped  roots,  and  add  one  dose  of  Horse  Ren- 
ovator morning  and  night  to  the  feed  for  ten  days.  Omit 
the  Renovator  for  four  da3^s,  then  repeat ;  give  a  warm  bran 
mash  two  or  three  times  a  week,  always  adding  one  dose  of 
Horse  Renovator ;  repeat  for  a  month  or  two,  and  you  will 
have  a  new  horse  both  in  action  and  appearance.  He  will 
be  plump,  slick  and  full  of  vim.  Then  you  can  get  your 
price.  If  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  is  given  occasion- 
ally, it  will  ward  off  Fits,  Colic  Fever,  Indigestion,  Heaves, 
Worms,  Bots,  Pinkeye,  etc.,  and  keep  your  horse  looking 
and  feeling  "as  fine  as  silk."  If  your  horse  coughs,  does 
not  shed  his  coat,  is  hidebound  or  pinched  bellied,  scours, 
does  not  eat  or  digest  his  food  well,  legs  stock,  or  he  drives 
dull  and  logy,  try  this  medicine.  It  will  show  its  effects  on 
the  kidneys  in  one  day,  on  his  spirits  in  two  days,  greatly 
improve  his  general  condition  within  two  weeks,  and  many 
times  add  tv/enty-five  or  even  fifty  pounds  to  his  weight 
in  a  month.     It  makes  good  blood. 

All  Roots  and  Barks,  when  ground  and  exposed  to  the 
air,  soon  lose  their  strength  and  virtue.  For  this  reason, 
and  also  that  exactly  the  same  dose  may  be  given  each 
time,  to  insure  the  best  results,  we  have  put  each  dose  in  a 
separate  box,  thus  insuring  the  strength  of  this  medicine, 
even  if  kept  for  years. 

Don't  think  all  the  "Powders"  you  may  see  in  dose 
packages  are  like  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator ;  imitators 
are  now  using  our  methods — use  only  Daniels'  for  best  results. 

Yfe  have  never  given  our  formula  for  these  powders  to 
any  one ;  hence  no  one  can  make  any  just  like  Dr.  Daniels* 
no  matter  what  they  claim. 

To  ov/ner  of  a  nice  driving  horse  we  say  try  a  single  pack- 
age of  Horse  Renovator.  Give  in  ordinary  cases  one  dose 
daily  and  note  the  v/onderful  change  in  his  condition.  If 
very  badly  out  of  order,  two  doses  a  day  may  be  given.     He 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


42      Dr.  a.   C.   Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

pricks  his  ears  at  sound  of  falling  footsteps ;  is  all  life  and 
energy  and  ready  to  do  his  best  at  a  moment's  notice. 
The  question  is  often  asked,  how  long  is  it  best  to  continue 
feeding  this  powder?  In  answer  we  will  say  that  usually  one 
or  two  packages  will  put  a  horse  into  the  best  possible  con- 
dition. Of  course  in  a  case  of  run  down  condition  of  long 
standing  a  longer  treatment  may  be  given. 

No  arsenic,  antimony,  resin,  cheap  middling,  mill  sweep- 
ings, saw  dust,  clay,  grain  dust,  or  other  poisons  are  used  in 
its  composition.  We  guarantee  it  to  give  perfect  satisfaction. 

Many  Times  Owners  of  Work  horses  ask  why  we  do 
not  put  up  Horse  Renovator  in  bulk,  saying  they  are  too 
expensive  to  give  work  horses.  One  dozen  packages  of  Dan- 
iels' Horse  Renovator  contain  more  medicinal  virtue  than 
in  a  barrel  of  any  horse  and  cattle  food  on  the  market. 

Stock  Foods. — Make  your  own  stock  food  by  adding  a 
dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  to  the  regular  feed  once 
a  day  for  a  week ;  you  will  save  money,  and  get  much  bet- 
ter results  and  have  the  best  sort  of  food. 

Gestation  Period  of  Animals. — The  period  of  gestation 
varies  in  different  animals.  In  the  mare  it  is  about  eleven 
months  or  330  days,  but  varies.  A  3^oung  mare  ma}^  not 
carry  the  foal  as  long.  The  longest  time  we  have  on  record 
for  a  mare  to  carry  a  foal  is  419  days,  and  the  shortest  time 
is  237  days.  A  case  is  recorded  of  a  mare  having  a  foal  at 
thirty  years  old.  Mares  moderately  kept  and  worked  will 
breed  longer  than  one  well  fed  and  not  exercised.  A  case 
is  recorded  where  a  filly  had  a  foal  at  twenty-two  months 
old,  and  heifers  at  fourteen  months  old ;  but  four  years  is 
young  enough  for  colts  to  begin  breeding,  and  heifers  should 
not  until  a  year  and  eight  or  nine  months  old.  The  mare 
may  be  worked  up  to  two  or  three  weeks  of  her  time,  but 
should  have  several  weeks'  rest  after.  The  foal  may  be 
weaned  at  five  to  six  months.  The  gestation  period  in  the 
cow  is  about  nine  months  or  270  days  ;  240  days  the  short- 
est, and  290  the  longest.  In  the  ewe  it  is  about  five  months. 
In  the  bitch  it  is  about  sixty-three  days.  In  the  sow  it  is 
from  115  to  140  days.  The  heifer  should  be  a  year  and 
eight  or  nine  months  old  when  bred.  With  the  longer  term 
a  male  offspring  may  be  expected,  though  of  course  there  is 
no  positive  assurance  of  this  condition.

CHAPTER  IV. 

DISEASES  OF  THE  URINARY  ORGANS. 

Inflammation  of  the  Kidneys,  Excessive  Stalling,  Suppressed  Urine, 
Bloody  Urine,  Inflammation  of  the  Bladder,  Swollen  Sheath,  Sheath 
Contraction,  Inflammation  of  the  Yard,  Swollen  Scrotum,  etc. 

Inflammation  of  Kidneys. — Caused  by  strains,  over- 
work, slipping,  musty  hay  or  feed,  exposure,  too  powerful 
diuretics,  etc. 

Acute  Inflammation  of  the  Kidneys. — Indicated  by 
stiffness  of  the  back,  loins  arched,  flanks  tucked  up,  strad- 
dling gait,  lying  down  and  rising  with  difficulty,  walking 
in  circle,  loins  tender,  urine  in  small  quantities  and  often, 
color  high,  blood  or  pus  may  be  present,  legs  swell  as  well 
as  belly  and  chest,  pulse  is  quick  and  hard  at  first,  becom- 
ing small  later.  Introduce  the  hand  into  the  rectum,  and 
if  the  bladder  is  empty,  without  tenderness  or  heat,  inflam- 
mation of  the  kidneys  is  present.     See  chart,  fig.  44. 

Chronic  Inflammation  of  the  Kidneys. — About  all 
the  symptoms  of  the  acute  form,  adding  a  scurfy  skin,  dull 
hair  and  coat,  weak  and  unable  to  sustain  continued  work, 
irregular  appetite,  grows  thin,  muscles  soft,  eyes  and  nose 
have  a  peculiar  pallor,  skin  becomes  erupted ;  any  of  these 
symptoms  should  cause  a  careful  study  of  the  case,  and  the 
urine  should  be  examined  for  albumen  and  casts. 

Treatment. — Give  30-drop  doses  of  Daniels' Cough,  Cold 
find  Fever  Drops  every  thirty  minutes  for  three  hours,  or 
until  fever  is  reduced ;  give  Physic  Ball  or  Linseed  Oil  and 
enemas  of  warm  soapy  water;  foment  the  loins  with  hot 
water,  add  2  tablespoonfuls  of  Liniment  Powder  to  get  the 
best  results  or  apply  Oster-Cocus  freely  to  the  loins.  Soft 
foods,  keeping  bowels  open  by  adding  one  dose  of  Horse 
Renovator  twice  daily ;  if  in  summer,  a  month  at  pasture 
will  do  wonders.  If  the  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  is  too  strong 
reduce  it  with  alcohol  or  kerosene  oil. 

Excessive  Stalling. — Cause;  musty  feed,  exposure, etc. 


Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


44     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


Symptoms. — Much  thirst,  loses  condition  fast,  coat  rough, 
passing  larger  amount  of  clear  urine,  and  often. 

Treatment. — Entire  change  of  feed,  good  clean  hay,  bran 
mashes,  roots,  carrots,  etc.  Give  the  Renovator  twice  daily ; 
keep  bowels  open  ;  give  linseed  oil.  A  few  doses  of  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  No.  1  Colic  Drops  each  morning  will  also  be  of 
benefit.     Linseed  meal  in  the  drinking  water. 

Suppressed  Urine. — Retention  of  urine,  caused  by  con- 
tinuous action,  not  giving  the  horse  time  to  urinate  or  to 
answer  the  demands  of  nature,  spasm  of  the  neck  of  the 
bladder,  etc. 

Treatment. — Use  catheter  at  once,  and  give  a  few  doses 
of  No.  1  Colic  Drops  at  intervals  of  20  minutes  for  tw^o  hours, 
Horse  Renovator  twice  daily,  bran  mashes  and  soft  foods ; 
Oster-Cocus  Liniment  to  the  loins,  rubbing  it  in  well. 

Bloody  Urine. — Usually  resulting  from  injuries,  vio- 
lence, undesirable  feed,  etc. 

Treatment. — Plenty  linseed  or  slippery  elm  tea,  given  as  a 
drench  ;  three  or  four  30-drop  doses  of  No.  1  Colic  Drops  at 
intervals  of  30  minutes  morning  and  evening ;  keep  bowels 
open  by  feeding  soft  foods,  roots,  bran  mashes,  adding  one 
dose  of  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily. 

Inflammation  of  Bladder. — May  be  acute  or  chronic, 
slight  or  severe ;  caused  by  irritating  medicines,  stone,  cal- 
culi, septic  poison,  retained  urine,  patent  stock  foods,  etc. 

Symptoms,. — Pains  are  much  like  colic,  kicks  at  abdomen, 
looks  at  flanks,  may  lie  down  and  rise  frequently  as  in  colic, 
efforts  to  urinate,  with  little  or  no  results,  except  in  jets, 
in  small  quantities,  perhaps  clear  or  tinged  with  red,  with 
indications  of  pain,  groaning,  etc.     See  chart,  fig.  35. 

Treatment. — First  to  overcome  and  remove  the  cause ; 
completely  evacuate  the  bladder  with  catheter ;  be  sure  to 
disinfect  the  instrument  before  using;  wash  out  the  bladder 
w^ith  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  one-fourth  teaspoon  in  two 
quarts  of  warm  water,  twice  daily ;  give  30-drop  doses  of 
Daniels'  Fever  Drops  at  intervals  of  half  an  hour  for  three  or 
foiir  hours ;  drench  with  slippery  elm  tea ;  a  warm  injection  of 
this  same  sort  of  tea  may  be  given  by  rectum.  Daniels'  Colic 
Drops  in  regular  doses  every  thirty  minutes  at  the  begin- 
ning of  treatment  will  allay  pain ;  foment  the  loins  with  hot 
applications,  after  which  rub  on  a  little  Oster-Cocus  Lini-

ment.  Feed  for  condition,  roots,  mashes,  good  oats  and  hay, 
and  Dr.  Daniels'  Renovator  Powders;  after  each  feed  give 
a  dose  of  No.  1.  Colic  Drops  for  a  week  or  two. 

Swollen  Sheath. — Cleanse  sheath  by  washing  v/ith  a 
solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  one-fourth  teaspoonful  to  two 
quarts  water ;  feed  bran  mash  once  a  day  for  six  days,  add- 
ing one  dose  of  Renovator,  and  for  two  weeks  after  give 
one  dose  of  Renovator  at  night  in  the  feed.  Sometimes  a 
Physic  Ball  is  required  or  linseed  oil.  The  system  wants 
cleaning  in  case  of  this  sort.  Be  sure  to  clean  the  sheath 
thoroughly  its  entire  length. 

Sheath,  Contraction. — Either  in  front  or  behind  the 
yard  preventing  the  drawing  of  it  back  into  the  sheath. 

Treatment. — Administer  a  cold  water  solution  of  Carbo- 
Negus,  teaspoonful  to  2  quarts  of  water,  freely,  to  the  in- 
flamed sheath,  cleaning  it  thoroughly,  after  which  apply 
sweet  or  olive  oil  liberally  to  the  parts,  being  careful  in  ma- 
nipulating, and  you  will  generally  overcome  the  trouble. 

If  this  occurs  in  old  horses  from  paralysis,  there  seems  to 
be  no  cure.     Amputation  by  surgeon  is  the  resort. 

Inflammation  of  the  Yard. — Should  be  treated  heroic- 
ally. Cleanse  first  with  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  as  above, 
then  apply  2  drachms  of  chlorate  of  zinc,  mixed  with  a  pint 
of  water,  wrapping  the  parts  in  a  cloth  wet  with  this  mixture, 
repeating  daily  to  destroy  the  granulations  which  may  have 
formed.  Frequently  a  discharge  will  appear  from  the  Yard, 
owing  to  infection  and  inflammation ;  treat  with  injections 
of  warm  water  and  Carbo-Negus,  1  teaspoonful  of  Carbo  to 
2  quarts  warm  water ;  a  fountain  syringe  seems  the  best  to 
thoroughly  wash  and  cleanse. 

Swollen  Scrotum. — When  not  caused  by  rupture,  it  is 
a  debilitated  condition.  Give  Physic  Ball  and  feed  bran 
mashes,  roots,  good  oats,  clean  hay,  and  give  dose  of  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  in  food  for  a  few  weeks. 

Stone  in  the  Bladder. — Symptoms  much  like  colic,  but 
inquiry  will  show  much  irregularity  in  the  discharge  of 
urine,  sometimes  entirely  suppressed.  A  peculiar  point  to 
notice  is  the  apparent  groan  after  voiding  the  urine.  A 
Veterinary  should  be  called  to  extract  stones.  You  can 
safely  and  with  profit  give  two  or  three  60-drop  doses  of 
Daniels'  Colic  Drops.      It  relieves  the  pain  and  frequently 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


46     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


allows  the  muscles  to  relax  sufficient  to  expel  the  calculi  or 
stones.     Renovator  in  the  feed  acts  on  the  kidneys. 

Spasms  of  the  Neck  of  the  Bladder. — Straining  and 
stretching  to  urinate,  resulting  in  a  sHght  dribbhng  only, 
with  pain  and  groaning,  paws,  shakes  the  tail,  kicks  at  ab- 
domen, arches  the  back  and  repeats  the  effort  to  urinate. 
Impacted  intestines  are  very  frequently  the  cause  of  these 
symptoms  even  when  the  irritation  is  really  slight ;  use 
catheter  and  use  great  care  in  introducing  it  into  the  penis 
and  bladder ;  oil  the  catheter  well,  and  drawing  the  penis 
from  the  sheath,  advance  the  catheter  until  it  reaches  the 
bend  at  the  urethra  beneath  the  anus,  when  it  can  be 
guided  forward  by  the  hand  into  the  bladder ;  oil  the  hand 
and  push  it  into  the  rectum  to  guide  the  catheter. 

Treatment. — Give  a  Physic  Ball  and  follow  with  two  or 
three  doses  of  linseed  oil ;  create  a  laxative  condition,  feed- 
ing mashes,  roots,  soft  foods,  little  if  any  corn  or  meal,  no 
stock  foods,  and  to  the  feed  twice  daily  add  a  dose  of  Horse 
Renovator ;  these  act  directly  on  kidneys  and  urinary  organs. 

Paralysis  of  the  Bladder. — Also  occurs  from  overdis- 
tension, acute  Rheumatism,  Cystitis,  etc. 

Symptoms. — Constant  dribbling  of  the  urine,  running 
down  the  inside  of  the  thighs ;  if  the  neck  of  the  bladder  is 
not  involved,  the  urine  is  expelled  wdth  a  gush,  but  the 
bladder  is  not  emptied. 

Treatment. — Depends  much  upon  the  cause  ;  draw  off  the 
urine  with  the  catheter,  give  30-drop  doses  of  No.  1  Colic 
Drops,  at  intervals  of  twenty  minutes  for  an  hour.  If  fever 
is  present  a  few  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Fever  Drops  may  be 
given,  laxative  food  with  Renovator  twice  daily.  Oster- 
Cocus  Liniment  to  the  back  part  of  the  belly  just  in  front  of 
the  udder  or  between  the  thighs ;  from  under  the  anus  down 
if  in  a  horse.     Reduce  the  liniment  with  kerosene  oil. 

Stricture  of  the  Urethra. — Caused  by  stone  or  gravel 
or  improper  injections,  ulcers,  etc,  Urine  passes  with  ef- 
fort only  in  fine  stream  with  evidence  of  pain. 

Treatment. — Introduce  a  catheter  to  dilate  the  obstruc- 
tion ;  be  sure  to  have  catheter  disinfected.  Give  drenches 
of  flaxseed  tea,  or  gum  arable ;  feed  soft  foods  for  a  laxative 
condition,  dose  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Renovator  twice  daily  for  a 
tonic  and  action  on  the  urinary  tracts.

CHAPTER  V. 

WORMS  IN  HORSES. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Worm  Killer  and  its  use  in  relieving  the  horse  of  all 
kinds  of  Worms,  Round  Worms,  Thread,  Needle  or  Pin  Worms,  Maw 
Worms,  Tapeworms,  Bots,  etc. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  every  horse  has  at  all  times 
more  or  less  worms,  but  not  in  such  an  abundance  as  to 
cause  annoyance.  They  are  mostly  found  in  the  stomach 
and  bowels,  but  are  met  with  in  almost  every  part  of  the 
body.  Investigation  shows  there  are  over  thirty  kinds  of 
worms  that  infest  the  horse.  Fortunately  there  are  but 
three  or  four  kinds  that  are  common.  When  the  condition 
of  the  horse  is  weakened  or  low,  either  from  overwork,  neg- 
lect, irregular  and  poor  feeding,  there  the  conditions  are 
favorable  for  the  worms  to  increase  and  multiply,  and  not 
only  irritate  the  horse  to  an  alarming  extent,  but  eat  up 
and  destroy  or  rob  him  of  health  and  strength.  See  colored 
chart,  fig.  40. 

The  Round  or  Stomach  Worm. — Resembles  the  common 
earth  worm  in  size  and  shape,  sometimes  reaching  a  foot  or 
more  in  length,  inhabits  the  small  intestine  and  the  stomach. 
Probably  a  few  do  little,  if  any,  injury,  but  a  large  number 
impair  digestion,  the  stomach  gets  out  of  order,  and  the 
horse  is  soon  out  of  condition,  and  runs  down  with  no  visi- 
ble cause.  Worms  are  the  cause  of  many  horses  having  fits, 
colic,  scours  and  staggers,  and  consequently  they  are  very 
dangerous. 

Symptoms. — Rough  and  staring  coat ;  spirits  depart ;  ap- 
petite poor ;  food  passes  half  digested ;  often  scours ;  some- 
times eats  ravenously ;  hidebound  ;  skin  often  covered  with 
blotches ;  looks  back  at  his  sides  with  an  uneasy  nervous 
appearance ;  gnaws  and  bites  at  the  manger,  crib,  or  any- 
thing he  comes  in  contact  with ;  rubs  his  tail  against  the 
stall  or  anything  convenient;  will  not  take  on  flesh. 

Whenever  your  horse  seems  to  be  in  a  run  down  condition

from  no  visible  cause,  shows  any  of  these  symptoms,  save 
time  and  money  by  treating  at  once  for  worms.  Often- 
times and  with  some  horses  it  is  very  difficult  to  get  rid  of 
the  Avorms,  but  with  Daniels'  Worm  Killer,  you  are  sure  of 
success  if  you  follow  instructions.     See  chart,  fig.  36. 

Treatment. — Fast  for  twelve  hours ;  in  an  ordinary  case 
feed  with  nothing  but  bran  mashes  for  one  day  after  fast, 
adding  a  dose  of  Worm  Killer  to  each  mash.  If  the  horse 
be  over  1200  it  is  sometimes  advisable  to  increase  quantity, 
giving  two  doses  with  each  mash.  It  is  well  to  give  a  Physic 
Ball  after  the  first  bran  mash,  or  a  quart  of  linseed  oil  may. 
be  given.  To  entirely  rid  the  horse  of  worms  the  treatment 
should  be  repeated  in  a  week  or  ten  days.  Colts  should 
have  one-half  a  dose  more  or  less  according  to  their  size 
and  age.  The  action  of  this  medicine  is  most  scientific,  for 
while  it  dispels  the  worms  it  tones  up  the  stomach  and  ali- 
mentary canal  and  improves  the  general  condition  of  the 
horse.  Hence  if  you  give  one  powder  daily  in  the  feed  ioi 
a  week  or  so  after  the  worms  appear  to  be  destroyed  it  will 
be  to  your  advantage.  It  may  be  fed  to  brooding  mares 
with  perfect  safety.  Many  times  a  horse  is  much  run  down, 
thin  and  hidebound  from  a  serious  attack  of  worms.  In 
such  cases  it  is  well  to  give  a  tonic  treatment,  and  especially 
good  feed.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator,  one  dose  morning 
and  night,  mixed  with  good  bright  oats,  for  a  week  or  ten 
days  will  be  of  great  benefit,  as  they  act  on  the  stomach, 
bowels  and  kidneys  in  the  most  satisfactory  manner.  See 
that  the  hay  is  clean  and  bright  and  it  is  well  to  chop  it 
when  possible.  Have  plenty  of  pure  water  and  fresh  air, 
and  a  lump  of  salt  handy  in  the  manger.  Thousands,  yes, 
millions  of  horses  that  have  no  visible  signs  of  worms  are 
literally  alive  with  them,  and  if  these  powders  are  fed  ac- 
cording to  directions,  the  worms  will  be  thrown  off  and  the 
horse  will  improve  at  once.  On  the  other  hand  because  you 
notice  your  horse  passes  a  worm  occasionally  it  is  not  a  cer- 
tain indication  that  he  is  "wormy"  in  the  ordinary  sense  of 
the  word,  but  it  is  always  good  judgment  to  treat  for  worms 
at  first  indication. 

The  Needle  or  Pin  Worm. — A  small  white  worm,  from 
one  to  two  inches  long,  breeds  in  the  colon  and  rectum, 
often  appearing  in  tens  of  thousands.      They  are  very  irri-

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     49 

tating  to  the  horse  when  in  the  rectum,  causing  great  un- 
easiness and  rubbing  of  tail.    See  chart,  fig.  37-39. 

Treatment. — It  is  hard  to  reach  this  fellow  by  way  of  the 
stomach,  as  all  medicines  have  to  pass  through  the  glands 
and  organs  of  digestion  and  assimilation,  and  nearly  all  its 
properties  are  supposed  to  be  taken  into  the  system  before 
the  rectum  or  large  bowel  is  reached.  It  is  so  much  more 
convenient  to  give  the  Worm  Killer  in  the  feed,  than  by  an 
injection,  that  in  general  people  prefer  to  try  this  method 
first,  and  usually  with  first-class  results ;  but  in  many  cases 
it  is  necessary  to  give  the  Worm  Killer  in  form  of  an  in- 
jection. In  this  case  it  is  best  to  proceed  just  after  the  horse 
has  evacuated  his  rectum..  Dissolve  two  doses  of  the  Kil- 
ler in  two  quarts  of  boiling  water;  after  ten  minutes  add 
cold  water  enough  to  bring  it  to  blood  heat,  and  inject  it  in- 
to his  rectum,  keeping  it  there  a  few  moments.  Repeat 
this  treatment  in  eight  or  ten  days  to  kill  the  brood  that 
will  hatch  out  in  the  meantime. 

BoTS. — Are  said  to  be  the  larvae  of  the  gadfly.  They  are 
a  subject  of  much  discussion.  Whatever  their  nature  or 
origin  maybe,  they  are  a  pest,  causing  colic  or  mad  staggers, 
etc.     Symptoms  similar  to  colic.     See  chart,  fig.  38. 

Treatment. — Fast  the  horse  for  twelve  hours,  then  give 
six  ounces  of  salt  in  a  quart  of  warm  water.  Mix  liberal 
quantities  of  salt  with  the  food  during  treatment.  Give 
a  dose  of  Worm  Killer  in  a  warm  bran  mash  morning  and 
night  for  a  week.  In  severe  cases,  where  there  is  indica- 
tion of  pain,  give  a  few  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Colic  Drops. 
Always  feed  Daniels'  Renovator  to  invigorate  and  strength- 
en the  blood  and  build  up  his  condition.  This  treatment 
followed  will  shortly  put  your  horse  in  fine  fettle,  and  you 
will  enjoy  him  in  stable,  field  or  harness  while  he  will  en- 
joy life.  Keep  the  horse  in  good  condition  w4th  clean  food, 
good  water  and  air  and  frequent  doses  of  Renovator  Pow- 
ders, or  he  will  again  have  worms,  no  matter  if  you  drive 
them  all  out  by  treatment.  Look  well  to  the  teeth  and 
mouth  when  the  horse  does  not  respond  to  good  feeding. 

The  Tape  Worm. — Is  easily  recognized,  being  thin,  flat 
and  broad  or  tape-like,  with  joints  seeming  to  be  held  to- 
gether by  little  hooks  at  the  comer  of  each  joint,  the  head 
being  the  small  end  of  the  worm.     They  sometimes  meas-

ure  twenty-five  to  thirty  feet  in  length,  and  are  a  great 
source  of  annoyance  to  the  horse  and  a  trying  proposition 
to  one  treating  for  their  destruction,  for  they  are  not  easily 
removed  in  one  attempt;  they  are  more  likely  to  come 
away  in  sections  from  a  few  inches  to  several  feet  in  length  ; 
consequently  it  becomes  a  matter  of  long  treatment  and 
watchfulness,  for  until  you  find  the  small  head,  the  worm 
continues  to  grow  section  by  section,  so  we  must  treat  until 
the  small  head  is  found.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  41. 

Treatment. — As  in  other  worm  troubles  should  be  for 
condition  first,  last  and  all  the  time.  Give  two  doses  of 
Worm  Killer  in  a  small  bran  mash,  after  fasting  the  horse 
for  twelve  to  twenty-four  hours,  and  immediately  after  give 
a  Physic  Ball,  then  a  quart  of  linseed  oil;  bran  mash  with 
two  doses  of  Daniels'  Renovator  for  the  next  feed,  a  little 
grain  may  be  given,  plenty  of  fresh  water,  no  hay  until 
operation  of  medicines,  then  regular  feed.  Repeat  the  treat- 
ment each  week  until  the  head  is  found.  Low,  wet  and 
marshy  pastures,  unsanitary  conditions  and  drinking  stag- 
nant water  are  common  causes  for  worms  in  horses. 

To  Make  a  Syringe. — A  common  tin  funnel  or  tunnel; 
to  the  small  end  attach  about  three  or  four  feet  of  small 
size  garden  or  rubber  hose,  trim  or  smooth  off  the  other  end 
and  you  have  a  good  horse  syringe.  To  use  it  smear  the 
end  of  the  tubing  with  vaseline,  lard  or  oil,  insert  it  into 
the  rectum  with  care,  elevate  the  tunnel  end  and  have  an 
assistant  pour  the  proposed  injection  into  the  tunnel  from 
this  elevated  position;  hold  the  tube  in  place  for  a  few 
moments  when  it  should  be  removed  and  the  enema  is 
discharged.  Bear  in  mind  this  fact:  If  you  keep  your 
horse  in  condition  worms  will  never  be  a  source  of  trouble 
to  him,  and  nothing  you  can  use  will  give  better  results 
than  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  added  to  the  feed  for 
a  week  at  a  time,  when  doing  extra  hard  work  or  when 
recovering  from  any  sort  of  sickness. 

A  Laxative  Feed. — Consists  of  mashes,  roots  and  Dr. 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator,  this  last  should  be  given  in  the 
feed  once  or  twice  daily  for  a  week  or  more.  A  pint  of  lin- 
seed oil  occasionally.  In  treating  nearly  all  forms  of  illness 
it  is  well  to  give  a  laxative  feed.

SORES,  WOUNDS,  CUTS  AND  ABRASIONS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  and  its  use  in  the  Treatment 
of  Piles,  Chafing,  Sores,  Cuts,  Wounds,  Sore  Shoulders,  Harness  Galls, 
Chapped  Knee  or  Hock,  Scratches,  Grease  or  Cracked  Heels,  Thrush, 
Bruised  Knees,  Calked  Hoof,  Nail  or  Prick  in  the  Foot,  Mud  Fever, 
Strains  and  Sprains,  Mallenders  and  Sallenders,  Tender  Skin  and  Shoul- 
ders, Over-reach,  Speedy  Cut,  Proud  Flesh,  Canker,  Bleeding,  Brushing, 
Interfering,  Quittor,  Fistula,  Poll  Evil,  Bruised  Heel,  Rheumatism,  Neu- 
ralgia, Barbed  Wire  Cuts  and  Sores,  etc. 

Cuts,  Flesh  Wounds  and  Abrasions. — Apply  Daniels' 
Wonder  Worker  Lotion  freely  as  quickly  as  possible.  If 
the  wound  is  deep,  inject  the  liniment  into  its  deepest  part 
with  a  syringe.  Draw  the  cut  together.  A  sponge  or  piece 
of  oakum  well  saturated  with  Wonder  Worker  may  be  kept 
bound  on  the  wound,  with  good  results. 

Scratches,  Mud  Fever,  Cracked  Heels. — Ascertain 
and  remove  the  causes.     See  chart,  fig.  57. 

Treatment. — First  have  clean,  dry  stable  and  stall,  fresh 
air,  pure  water,  proper  food,  ph}^ sic  and  give  a  tonic  for 
the  blood.  Cleanliness  is  of  first  importance.  Clean  the 
heels  with  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  two  teaspoonfuls  to  a 
quart  of  warm  water;  in  bad  cases  poultice  with  linseed 
meal,  into  which  put  a  few  drops  of  Carbo-Negus ;  after- 
wards cleanse  and  saturate  the  bandage  and  keep  wet  with 
Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion ;  reduce  the  grain  ;  give  cool- 
ing food,  roots,  mashes,  and  a  dose  of  Daniels'  Renovator 
twice  daily  for  a  week,  then  once  daily ;  for  a  physic  use 
Daniels'  Physic  Ball. 

Mallenders  and  Sallenders. — Scurvy  patches  on  the 
knee  and  hock,  degenerating  with  neglect  into  ugly  sores. 
Treatment. — Wash  with  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  dry, 
and  apply  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Give  Physic  Ball ;  feed 
bran  mashes  and  soft  food,  and  give  one  dose  of  Daniels* 
Renovator  night  and  morning  for  a  couple  of  weeks,  and  the 
right  food  and  care. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cat  tle 


52     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

Bruised  Knees  or  Ankles. — Apply  freely  Dr.  Daniels' 
Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Bandage  when  possible  with  the 
same.  If  much  swollen  or  inflamed,  applications  of  hot 
water  will  prove  beneficial,  after  which  use  Wonder  Worker 
Lotion. 

Sprains  and  Strains. — Superficial  or  any  soreness  of  the 
flesh  or  muscles.  Apply  freely  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker, 
rubbing  it  in  well.     Bandage  if  needed;  it  will  not  blister. 

Tender  Skin. — Saturating  the  hair  and  skin  on  breast 
and  back  of  green  horses  a  few  times,  before  working  them, 
with  Wonder  Worker,  will  toughen  and  harden  the  skin. 

Tender  Shoulders. — Perhaps  the   draft  is  too  high.- 
Lower  the  staples  for  harness  a  trifle.    To  toughen  the  skin, 
bathe  the  shoulder  freely  for  a  few  days  with  Dr.  Daniels' 
Wonder  Worker  Lotion. 

Harness  Galls. — Apply  at  once  freely  Wonder  Worker 
Lotion ;  it  cools  the  fever  and  heals  the  sores. 

Chaps. — Knee  or  hock.  Give  Physic  Ball;  reduce  grain 
feed;  give  mashes,  roots,  non-stimulating  food;  exercise  easy; 
hand-rub  the  legs  with  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker,  and  ban- 
dage. Be  sure  to  feed  Dr.  Daniels'  Renovator  Powders 
daily  for  blood  and  tonic.  Wonder  Worker  will  not  blister  with 
bandaging,  takes  out  the  soreness,  and  can  be  freely  used. 

Over-Reach. — Remove  jagged  ends  with  knife  or  scis- 
sors ;  apply  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  freely ;  bind  up 
when  required  in  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker.  Prompt  atten- 
tion and  good  care  will  save  you  a  quittor.  Feed  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator  daily  for  tonic  and  blood. 

Proud  Flesh. — Cannot  co-exist  with  Daniels'  Wonder 
Worker ;  to  overcome,  saturate  freely,  binding  on  and  keep- 
ing wet  with  the  Lotion. 

Calked  Hoof  or  Quarters. — Apply  Daniels'  Wonder 
Worker  as  soon  as  possible  after  the  accident.  It  will  soon 
close  the  wound  and  prevent  all  soreness.  Hundreds  of 
trotters  in  races  have  grabbed  their  quarters  badly,  and  been 
laid  by  for  weeks,  if  not  permanently  injured.  A  timely 
use  of  this  lotion  will  work  like  a  charm,  and  the  horse  will 
go  on  and  finish  his  race,  and  never  take  a  lame  step  from 
any  ordinary  cut.  Always  have  a  bottle  in  the  kit ;  its 
handy.  If  not  cared  for  at  time  of  accident,  soaking  in  so- 
lution of  hot  Liniment  Powder,  two  tablespoonfuls  to  quart 

Home  Treatmentfor  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     53 

of  water,  will  remove  the  soreness  and  swelling,  and  hasten 
a  recovery.     See  chart,  fig.  138. 

Prick  in  the  Foot,  Puncture,  Nail  in  the  Foot. — 
Remove  the  nail.  With  a  sharp  knife  cut  out  around  the 
hole  in  a  funnel  shape ;  be  careful  to  go  to  the  very  bottom 
of  the  puncture  and  cut  large  enough.  Wash  and  syringe 
out  with  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  one  teaspoonful  to  a 
quart  of  water,  to  destroy  the  germs,  microbes  or  poison. 
Hold  the  foot  up,  pour  in  and  fill  the  hole  with  Wonder 
Worker  Lotion,  letting  it  soak  in.  Do  this  last  three  times 
daily.  Fill  a  sponge  and  bind  it  over  the  wound  by  putting 
a  strap  of  zinc  or  thin  iron  over  it  and  springing  it  under  the 
shoe.  If  inflammation  has  set  in,  soak  the  foot  in  hot  Lini- 
ment Powder,  tablespoonful  to  quart  of  water.  If  pus  forms, 
cut  deep  enough  to  allow  of  its  discharge  and  cleanse  with 
solution  of  Carbo-Negus  three  or  four  times  a  day,  after- 
wards filling  with  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker.  Keep  it  clean 
and  free  from  germs  and  you  need  not  fear  lockjaw  and 
swelling  of  the  leg. 

Grease  Heels.  Treatment. — First,  cleanliness,  fresh  air, 
pure  water,  good  food,  and  a  Tonic  for  the  blood  are  abso- 
lutely necessary  for  success.  See  colored  chart.  Give  one 
of  Daniels'  Physic  Balls  to  clear  the  system ;  soak  in  a  so- 
lution of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus,  two  teaspoonfuls  to  a  quart 
of  warm  water,  for  half  an  hour ;  saturate  and  bandage,  and 
k^ep  wet  with  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  In  cases 
of  long  standing,  poultice  with  linseed  meal,  into  which 
put  a  few  drops  of  Carbo-Negus.  To  destroy  "Grapes" 
which  often  prove  obstinate,  cut  off  with  scissors  or  burn 
off  with  lunar  caustic.  If  the  frog  is  diseased  it  must  be 
pared  to  the  quick,  and  treated  as  above  ;  change  the  dress- 
ing once  a  day  at  least.  Give  soft,  cooling  food,  bran  mash- 
es, bright,  clean  hay  and  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  once  or 
twice  daily  in  the  feed ;  they  act  on  the  blood  and  kidneys, 
give  strength  and  make  flesh.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  58 

Thrush. — A  common  ailment,  due  largely  to  neglect 
and  surroundings.  No  time  should  be  lost  as  no  case  how- 
ever slight  ought  to  be  neglected. 

Treatment, — Clean  out  and  cut  away  all  dead  or  diseased 
or  detached  parts ;  soak  the  foot  for  half  an  hour  in  a  solu- 
tion of  Carbo-Negus,  two  tablespoonfuls  to  a  quart  of  hot 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


54     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

water.  Then  turn  the  foot  up  and  pour  Daniels'  Wonder 
Worker  Lotion  into  it,  filling  the  cracks  around  the  heel  and 
frog.  If  you  can  wet  a  sponge  or  some  oakum  and  hold  in 
place  by  springing  a  piece  of  heavy  tin  under  the  shoe,  it 
will  help  the  work  of  healing.  In  any  event,  dress  it  often 
enough  to  keep  it  clean;  it  is  well  to  give  a  Physic  Ball; 
feed  a  Renovator,  morning  and  night ;  give  bran  mashes, 
roots  and  soft  foods.     Cleanliness — don't  forget  it. 

Canker. — Results  of  the  neglected  treatment  of  Thrush, 
Quittor,  Puncture,  Grease  Heel,  etc.  Instead  of  healthy 
horn  and  frog,  fungi  excrescences  are  thrown  out  with  acrid 
discharges.  This,  if  neglected,  has  a  tendency  to  spread  over 
the  entire  sole  and  it  is  very  difficult  to  get  the  horn  to 
grow  again;  much  patience  is  required,  and  many  times  it 
is  considered  incurable. 

Treatment. — All  loose  and  detached  horn  and  growth  must 
be  removed ;  even  the  fimgus  growth  which  can  be  re- 
moved without  too  much  bleeding  should  be  taken  away 
with  knife  or  hot  iron.  Now  soak  the  foot  in  a  solution  of 
Carbo-Negus,  two  tablespoonfuls  to  a  quart  of  hot  water; 
soak  for  half  an  hour ;  this  will  remove  the  inflammation  and 
destroy  germ  life.  Then  turning  the  foot  up  saturate  it 
freely  with  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion ;  saturating  a 
sponge  or  piece  of  oakum,  bind  upon  the  bottom  of  the  foot 
with  firm  pressure  by  means  of  hoop  iron  slid  under  the  shoe, 
or  once  a  day  dust  on  Daniels'  Canker  Remedy ;  be  sure 
it  is  deposited  at  the  bottom  of  the  sore.  Give  a  Ph3^sic 
Ball ;  keep  in  a  laxative  condition  by  giving  bran  mashes 
and  proper  food ;  give  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  in  the 
food  for  two  weeks. 

Bleeding. — If  the  wound  is  a  simple  one,  not  on  the 
inside  of  the  leg  where  the  large  blood  vessels  are  situated, 
bandage  with  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  If  the  wound 
is  on  the  inside  of  leg,  the  blood  a  scarlet  color,  place  pads 
over,  and  bandage  it  tightly.    Get  a  good  surgeon  at  once. 

Speedy  Cut. — Apply  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  freely  to 
heal.  Hot  fomentations  with  Liniment  Powder  to  reduce 
inflammation,  if  any  exists.  Open  if  an  abcess  forms,  and 
cleanse  with  Carbo-Negus ;  protect  with  boot.  Raise  con- 
dition by  feed  and  Renovator.  Wonder  Worker,  if  applied 
at  once,  obviates  all  further  treatment. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     55 

Brushing  or  Interfering. — A  three-quarter  shoe,  or 
thin  shoe  on  inside  web,  and  apply  freely  Daniels'  Wonder 
Worker  Lotion  to  the  abrasion.  Put  on  a  boot  to  protect. 
When  inflamed  or  badly  swollen,  soak  the  joint  in  a  solu- 
tion of  hot  Liniment  Powder,  two  tablespoonfuls  to  quart  of 
water.  Feed  Horse  Renovator  for  a  tonic  and  to  put  into 
condition.  Frequently  weakness  and  debility  are  the  cause 
of  interfering.     Build  up  the  constitution. 

QuiTTOR. — There  may  be  said  to  be  four  kinds;  Simple 
Quittor,  which  is  a  local  inflammation  of  the  skin  and  tissues 
of  the  coronet;  when  not  promptly  and  properly  treated, 
leads  to  ulceration  and  sloughing,  and  strangles  circulation, 
which  leads  to  much  suffering  and  final  permanent  injury 
to  the  foot ;  this  form  of  quittor  is  caused  by  bruises,  and 
peculiar  constitutional  conditions. 

Simple  Quittor. — Lameness,  with  small  tumor  on  the 
coronary  region,  tense  and  hot,  the  swelling  often  envelop- 
ing the  leg  to  the  knee  or  hock ;  fever,  general  dullness,  loss 
of  appetite,  and  thirst;  the  ulcer  breaks  and  suppurates 
freely.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  63-64. 

Treatment. — Remove  at  once  the  inflammation,  using  a 
stream  of  cold  water  constantly ;  if  possible  arrange  a  sling 
to  support  the  animal.  If  pus  has  formed  make  hot  appli- 
cations, poultice  with  linseed  meal  and  as  soon  as  desirable 
open  tumor,  but  do  not  divide  the  coronary  band ;  cleanse 
with  a  soaking  bath  in  warm  water,  into  which  put  Carbo- 
Negus,  tablespoonful  to  a  quart  of  water.  Now  dress  with 
applications  of  Wonder  Worker  Lotion,  bandaging  with 
oakum  or  absorbent  cotton  wet  with  Wonder  Worker  and 
packed  into  the  openings,  repeating  the  soaking  and  dress- 
ing daily,  if  required,  until  healing  takes  place.  Should 
granulations  form,  cut  them  off  with  a  sharp,  clean  knife, 
poultice  for  a  day,  clean  and  cauterize  with  lunar  caustic 
and  firmly  bandage  with  Wonder  Worker.   See  colored  chart. 

Another  form  of  Quittor,  not  common,  attacks  the  ten- 
dons, the  ligaments  and  even  the  bones;  these  are  usually 
formed  by  the  lack  of  treatment  of  a  simple  case  of  Quittor, 
and  results  often  in  permanent  lameness  or  death  of  the 
animal,  and  this  form  of  Quittor  is  announced  by  the  sud- 
den increase  of  all  the  conditions  of  the  case.  When  this 
form  of  Quittor  occurs  independent  of  a  Simple  Quittor,  the

e

symptoms  are  indeed  quite  blind ;  at  first  a  little  lameness, 
increasing  during  a  couple  of  days,  however,  to  such  an 
extent  as  to  prevent  the  use  of  the  leg  at  all.  Examination 
the  first  day  or  so,  would  lead  one  to  think  the  foot  not  the 
cause  of  the  lameness.  In  a  few  days,  say  four  or  five, 
a  tumor  may  be  felt  on  the  heel  or  quarter,  which  grows 
rapidly,  the  temperature  rises,  pulse  rapid,  perspiration  and 
every  s3^mptom  of  suffering.  May  lie  flat  on  his  side,  legs 
extended,  the  swelling  continues  up  the  leg,  and  several  days 
are  required  to  develop  the  tumor  owing  to  the  mass  of 
tissue,  ligaments  and  tendons  involved. 

Treatment. — Prompt  treatment  alone  will  be  of  any  avail. 
Make  every  effort  by  the  use  of  cold  water  as  previously  stat- 
ed to  allay  the  inflammation.  As  soon  as  the  tumor  forms  it 
must  be  opened  deep  into  the  swelling ;  all  the  openings  show- 
ing pus  must  be  probed  and  cleaned ;  if  these  fistulous  open- 
ings extend  well  down  to  the  bottom  of  the  foot  as  the  prob- 
ing will  tell,  pare  the  sole  down  thin  and  open  from  below ; 
this  will  allow  for  the  speedy  discharge  of  the  pus ;  the  open- 
ings must  be  cleansed  thoroughly,  syringing  them  out  two 
or  three  times  daily  with  Carbo-Negus,  one  tablespoonful 
to  quart  of  water,  filling  them  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion, 
stopping  up  the  openings  with  oakum  or  cotton  saturated  in 
Wonder  Worker,  held  in  place  with  bandages ;  this  form  of 
Quittor  is  disappointing  in  treatment. 

The  most  common  form  of  Quittor,  caused  by  bruises, 
calk  wounds,  overreaching,  etc.,  is  easily  detected,  and  if 
proper  treatment  were  given  the  causes,  the  quittor  would 
not  exist  in  this  form.  Hence,  be  prompt  to  treat  any  in- 
jury to  the  coronet,  as  indicated  in  this  w^ork,  and  you  v/on't 
have  to  worry  about  the  quittor.  For  those  who  neglect, 
we  may  say,  when  you  see  the  swelling  which  shows  itself  at 
the  coronet,  you  will  have  to  act,  and  at  once,  or  your  horse 
is  "all  in."     Treat  as  for  Simple  Quittor. 

If  you  have  neglected  prompt  action  you  will  have  to 
resort  to  long  and  expensive  treatment  with  always  un- 
certain results. 

Bruised  Heel. — For  any  bruise  of  the  Coronet  or  Heel 
apply  freely  Wonder  Worker  and  prevent  Quittor. 

Fistula  OF  THE  Withers. — Caused  by  bruising  or  injuring 
the  first  vertebra  of  the  neck,  showing  at  first  a  simple 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     57 

swelling  tender  and  sore ;  it  must  be  dispersed  immediately 
or  pus  will  form.    See  colored  chart,  fig.  30. 

Treatment. — If  pus  has  not  formed  reduce  swelling  with 
Oster-Cocus,  feeding  bran  mashes  often  and  good  oats  and 
hay.  Brace  the  blood  up  with  Daniels'  Renovator  twice  a 
day  in  the  feed.  Do  not  puncture,  but  rub  Oster-Cocus  on 
a  few  times.  If  pus  is  formed  or  shows  strong  indications 
of  forming,  bring  to  a  head  with  poultice  and  open ;  allow 
for  draining.  Syringe  out  with  solution  of  Daniels'  Carbo- 
Negus ;  then  inject  to  the  seat  of  the  wound  Daniels'  Won- 
der Worker  Lotion ;  dress  once  a  day,  saturating  and  keeping 
the  opening  wet  with  Wonder  Worker.  Physic  Ball  and 
laxative  treatment. 

Poll  Evil. — The  same  sort  of  injury  as  Fistula  of  the 
Withers ;  the  injury  is  at  the  poll,  perhaps  by  clubbing,  or 
striking  the  back  of  the  head  against  a  door  frame  or  other 
obstruction,  the  halter  or  possibly  from  high  checking. 

Treatment. — As  soon  as  the  swelling  is  noticed  rub  on 
Oster-Cocus ;  if  it  becomes  a  little  soft,  have  it  opened ;  make 
the  opening  large  enough  to  admit  of  swabbing  out  the  pus, 
which  must  be  done  daily  until  no  more  pus  forms ;  wash  out 
with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  one  teaspoonful  to  quart  of 
water ;  do  not  use  the  swab  roughly ;  pour  in  Wonder  Work- 
er Lotion  and  keep  there  with  bandage  or  cloth ;  give  good 
strengthening  food  and  Daniels'  Renovator  twice  a  day; 
mashes  often.    See  colored  chart,  fig.  29. 

This  disease  is  a  trying  and  difficult  disease  to  handle,  and 
oftentimes  delay  in  proper  treatment  makes  it  incurable. 

Warts. — Can  only  be  removed  by  excision,  torsion  or 
legation.  After  removing  apply  a  hot  iron  or  lunar  caustic. 
Then  heal  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion. 

Barbed  Wire  Cuts  and  Sores. — Apply  freely  Wonder 
Worker  Lotion,  binding  up  the  wound  and  keeping  it  moist 
with  the  Lotion  when  possible  to  do  so. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  is  a  great  remedy 
for  Scratches,  Thrush,  Barbed  Wire  Cuts,  Bruised  Knees, 
Nail  in  the  Foot,  Harness  Galls,  Bums,  Scalds,  Chafing 
and  all  flesh  Wounds  and  Sores  of  any  kind.  Stops  bleed- 
ing and  heals  without  soreness  or  festering. 

This  lotion  is  rightly  named,  as  it  is  the  most  wonderful 
healer  known  to  man.     It  is  so  mild  and  still  so  powerful 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


58     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


that  its  action  creates  the  greatest  surprise  among  people 
who  have  the  most  extensive  experience  in  treating  sores 
and  wounds  of  every  kind.  While  so  soothing  as  to  be  used 
as  a  gargle  for  sore  throat  or  even  on  a  chafing  baby  with 
no  evil  effects,  it  is  still  powerful  enough  to  eat  out  proud 
flesh  in  a  few  hours,  and  heal  sores  of  many  years'  standing, 
that  have  resisted  the  most  heroic  treatment.  It  will  act 
with  the  most  surprising  results  on  flesh  wounds,  stopping 
the  flow  of  blood  at  once  and  cauterizing  the  flesh,  forming 
a  coating  almost  instantly  that  prevents  the  air  striking  the 
lacerated  or  raw  flesh.  The  alcohol  used  in  this  preparation 
will,  in  some  cases,  cause  for  a  moment  a  slight  smarting; 
but  this  is  over  in  a  moment  and  is  succeeded  by  the  most 
cooling  sensation. 

This  lotion  is  a  great  departure  from  all  former  applica- 
tions of  which  medical  work  gives  us  any  knowledge .  It 
contains  no  poisonous  matter  whatever.  Its  ingredients  are 
so  common-sense  and  simple,  as  to  recommend  it  at  once 
to  all  who  know  its  composition.  It  is  recommended  for 
every  kind  of  soreness  of  flesh  or  muscles,  in  man  or  beast, 
that  can  be  reached  by  an  outw^ard  application.  No  med- 
icine for  soreness  ever  discovered  compares  with  it.  Words 
fail  to  accurately  describe  its  remarkable  and  wondrous 
healing  power. 

How  TO  Measure  Doses  of  Medicines  in  Domestic 

Utensils. 

For  nearly  all  common  use,  fluids  may  be  measured  in 
domestic  utensils  to  correspond  to  these  tables : 

60  drops  equal  1  teaspoonful  or  1  drachm.    30  drops  half 

a  teaspoonful. 

4  teaspoonfuls  equal  1  tablespoonful  or  one-half  ounce. 

2  tablespoonfuls  equal  1  ounce. 

1  wineglassful  equals  2  ounces. 

1  teacupful  equals  4  ounces. 

1  tumblerful  equals  one-half  pint. 

A  Familiar  Manner  of  Estimating  Dry  Measure  is: 

A  handful  of  linseed,  aniseed,  etc.,  equals  2  ounces. 
A  handful  of  dried  leaves  equals  1  ounce. 
As  large  as  a  hen's  egg  equals  2  ounces.

BUNCHES,  SWELLINGS  AND  ENLARGEMENTS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Absorbent  Spavin  Remedy  and  Bunch  Remover  and 
its  use  in  the  treatment  of  Swellings,  Bunches  and  Enlargements  of  all 
kinds,  Spavins,  Sidebones,  Ringbones,  Contracted  Hoof,  Splints,  Curbs, 
Thoroughpins,  Thickened  Cartilages,  Knuckling,  Cocked  Ankles,  etc. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent  is  not  a  caustic  and  will  not  dis- 
figure, and  can  be  used  easily,  without  injury  or  blemish. 
The  great  number  of  horses  in  use  having  enlargements  up- 
on the  legs,  etc.,  such  as  Spavins,  Curbs,  Splints,  Callouses 
and  Thickened  Ankles  has  caused  an  endless  demand  for 
a  convenient  and  inexpensive  absorbent  for  the  removal 
of  these  injuries  and  blemishes.  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Absorb- 
ent Spavin  Remedy  is  put  up  in  convenient  form  and  can 
be  recommended  as  superior  to  any  caustic,  mustards,  or 
other  harsh  and  inhuman  articles  on  the  market  sold  with 
much  advertising  for  the  removal  of  those  defects,  which 
they  seldom  accomplish.  The  object  desired  is  not  to  make 
your  horse  suffer,  but  to  reduce  the  enlargement,  swelling 
or  bunch,  and  not  to  disfigure  the  animal.  Absorbent  is 
designed  to  create  first,  an  irritation,  and  secondly,  to  ab- 
sorb the  thickened  cartilage.  This  action  creates  a  harm- 
less blister  the  severity  of  which  is  regulated  by  the  quan- 
tity applied  and  how  thoroughly  and  long  it  is  rubbed  in. 
It  is  better  at  the  beginning  to  go  carefully,  and  at  first 
apply  but  little  and  rub  it  in  well,  and  watch  results,  as  the 
treatment  can  be  repeated  any  number  of  times  until  the  de- 
sired result  is  obtained.  Only  one  leg  or  spot  should  be 
treated  at  a  time  ;  and  the  hair  should  always  be  closely  cut 
or  shaved.  Never  blister  with  anything  when  it  is  highly 
inflamed  or  shows  signs  of  Erysipelas.  If  the  blister  should 
cause  the  horse  too  much  pain,  irritability  or  loss  of  ap- 
petite, wash  the  blistered  part  with  a  warm  solution  of 
Carbo-Negus,  a  teaspoonful  to  a  quart,  and  smear  the  part 
with  vaseline.     Always  be  careful  to  tie  the  horse  in  such 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


60    Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

a  way  that  he  cannot  bite  the  blistered  place,  which  he 
will  always  try  to  do,  and  getting  himself  into  the  most 
curious  positions  in  order  to  do  so.  Many  fine  horses  have 
disfigured  themselves  for  life  by  biting  and  tearing  at  a  small 
blister.  It  is  many  times  desirable  to  hitch  their  tails  to 
keep  them  from  twisting  around  to  their  hind  quarters  when 
the  trouble  is  on  the  hind  legs.  Let  the  part  get  well  and 
the  scabs  fall  off  themselves  before  using  the  Absorbent  the 
second  time.  If  the  treatment  was  insufficient  and  another 
is  required,  do  not  use  quite  so  much  or  rub  it  in  as  hard 
in  using  it  the  second  time,  as  the  skin  will  not  yet  be  tough 
as  before.  Follow  directions  and  "ou  will  be  pleased  with 
the  results. 

If  any  inflammation  exists,  remove  the  same  before  usmg 
Absorbent.  A  solution  of  Liniment  Powder,  two  tablespoon- 
fuls  to  a  quart  of  hot  w^ater,  will  always  reduce  the  inflam- 
mation if  freely  applied,  or  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  a 
spoonful  to  a  quart  of  hot  water,  disinfects  and  destroys  the 
germs  and  makes  a  splendid  wash,  while  reducing  the  in- 
flammation. 

Directions  for  using  Daniels'  Absorbent. — Cut  away  the 
hair  and  wash  the  place  intended  to  treat,  clean.  With  the 
fingers  rub  in  w^ell  for  fifteen  minutes  some  of  the  Absorb- 
ent, wiping  off  with  cloth  any  adhering  to  the  hair.  Apply 
vaseline  around  and  below,  to  prevent  unnecessary  irrita^ 
tion.  Let  alone  for  two  wrecks,  unless  the  skin  shows  ex- 
treme tenderness  and  cracks,  in  which  case  apply  Wonder 
Worker  Lotion,  or  a  little  of  Daniels'  Gall-Cura. 

If  you  feed  one  or  two  doses  daily  of  Horse  Renovator 
whenever  you  blister  or  fire,  you  will  be  more  than  satisfied 
with  the  results ;  it  is  a  tonic  to  the  system,  makes  good 
blood,  and  acts  upon  the  kidneys,  bladder  and  stomach, 
keeping  the  horse  in  condition,  and  it  puts  on  flesh. 

Swellings  and  Callouses. — Showing  hard,  tough  con- 
dition. Remove  inflammation  as  directed,  then  apply 
the  Absorbent,  repeating  two  or  three  times  at  intervals  of 
twelve  days,  or  two  weeks  if  required.    See  chart,  fig.  87-88. 

Soft  Bunches. — Reduce  the  inflammation  by  hot  ap- 
plications, then  apply  the  Absorbent  to  the  affected  part 
freely,  as  directed,  repeating  two  or  three  times,  if  neces- 
sary, at  intervals  of  two  weeks.     See  chart,  fig.  60. 

Home  Treat  ^ient  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     61 


Enlargements  and  Swellings. — Reduce  the  inflam- 
mation, then  apply  Absorbent  repeating  at  intervals  of 
two  weeks  until  reduced. 

Curb. — Is  a  hot,  hard  and  painful  swelling  at  the  back 
of  the  hind  leg,  three  to  four  inches  below  the  hock.  Result 
of  sudden  strain  or  blow,  and  will  lead  to  lameness. 

Treatment. — Reduce  the  inflammation  with  hot  applica- 
tions. Bandage  and  keep  constantly  hot  and  wet  until  the 
inflammation  has  subsided,  then  apply  the  Absorbent  and 
repeat  two  or  three  times  if  required.  High  heel  shoe,  no 
toe-pins.     See  chart,  fig.  75-81. 

SiDE-BoNES. — Appear  on  either  side  of  the  foot,  at  coffin 
bone ;  origin  similar  to  splints  or  ringbone.  If  neglected, 
become  incurable.     See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  124. 

Treatment. — R.est,  soaking  in  Liniment  Powder  or  even 
hot  water  for  half  hour  at  a  time  for  two  or  three  days,  alter- 
nating with  cold,  to  reduce  the  inflammation  and  soreness ; 
then  apply  Absorbent  to  coronet,  repeating  two  or  three 
times  at  intervals  of  ten  days  or  two  weeks.  There  is  no 
cure  if  bones  have  become  carious. 

Splints. — Splints  are  found  usually  on  the  inside  of  the 
fore  leg,  from  the  knee  downward  to  about  the  third  prin- 
cipal canon  bone,  although  they  sometimes  appear  on  the 
outside  of  the  leg,  and  sometimes  on  the  hind  leg.  Some- 
times they  are  the  cause  of  frequent  lameness,  though  not 
In  every  instance.  But  it  is  a  lameness  peculiar  to  itself. 
Not  continuous.  Intermittent  in  character.  More  notice- 
able when  the  animal  is  warm  than  when  he  is  cool.  If  the 
knee  joint  it  will  become  aggravated  when  the  animal  is  put 
to  work.  Splints  are  the  result  of  blows,  bruises  or  external 
hurts,  and  from  overstraining  or  excess  of  labor  in  young 
animals,  and  are  of  the  most  common  occurrence.  .  It  is 
rarely,  in  large  cities,  that  a  horse  cannot  exhibit  one  or 
more  specimens  of  some  form  of  splints.    See  chart,  fig.  130. 

Treatment. — Where  lam.eness  and  inflammation  exist  it  is 
best  to  reduce  the  inflammation  with  applications  of  hot 
Liniment  Povv'der,  or  even  hot  water,  then  apply  the  Ab- 
sorbent to  the  bunch  as  heretofore  directed.  Repeat  in  two 
weeks  if  necessary. 

Ring-Bone. — Found  in  and  about  the  coronet,  and  often 
extends  quite  around  in  a  ring.    The  result  of  severe  labor

in  early  life,  or  may  be  caused  by  bruises,  blows,  strains 
or  other  accidents.  It  may  originate  in  heredity.  A  ring- 
bone is  worse  than  a  splint,  and  more  difficult  to  treat.  In 
fact  many  of  them  are  incurable.  Some  are  found  as  a  bunch 
quite  up  to  the  fetlock  joint,  others  down  close  to  the  border 
of  the  foot ;  those  of  the  first  named  appear  as  a  convex 
swelling ;  those  low  down,  sort  of  a  thick  ring ;  others  a  sharp 
projecting  swelling  on  either  side  of  the  coronet. 

Treatment. — Allay  the  inflammation  and  then  apply  Dr. 
Daniels'  Absorbent.  Repeat  two  or  three  times  at  inter- 
vals of  two  weeks.  If  neglected  they  surely  become  incur- 
able, hence  prompt  action  at  first  sight.     See  chart,  fig.  131. 

Spavin. — An  exostosis  of  the  hock  joint.     Usually  occur- 
ring on  the  anterior  and  internal  part  of  the  joint,  but  may 
appear  on  the  upper  part  of  the  hock,  or  possibly  a  little 
below  the  inner  side  of  the  lower  extremity  of  the  shank 
bone,  forming  what  is  known  as  a  high  spavin,  or  may  form 
just  on  the  outside  of  the  hock  and  become  an  outside  or 
external  spavin.    Or  the  under  surface  may  become  the  seat 
of  the  deposit,  involving  the  internal  face  of  the  hock  or 
the  hock  bones.     The  hock  may  be  spavined  and  still  re- 
tain its  perfect  form,  in  which  case  it  would  show  no  per- 
ceptible enlargement,  thus  forming  an  occult  spavin.    A 
spavin  is  considered  the  most  serious  of  all  leg  troubles,  and 
when  once  fixed  there  is  no  known  remedy  for  its  removal. 
Hence,  when  once  they  are  discovered,  treatment  should 
be  vigorous,  effective,  and  to  the  point.    Among  early  signs 
may  be  noticed  a  peculiar  position  when  at  rest,  soon  be- 
coming habitual,  suggesting  some  hidden  cause.     In  this 
position  the  lower  part  of  the  leg  is  carried  forward,  and 
the  heel  of  the  foot  resting  on  the  toe  of  the  opposite  foot. 
An  unwillingness  in  the  animal  to  move  from  one  side  of 
the  stall  to  the  other.     When  driving  assumes  a  sidelong 
gait  between  the   shafts.      Acts   strangely  when   at   rest. 
Often  in  the  stall  will  pose  with  toe  pointing  forward,  heel 
raised,  and  toe  flexed.    A  slight  lameness  when  backing  out 
of  the  stall.    Lameness  not  noticeable  after  a  short  distance 
of  travel.      Considerable  inflammation  at  times.     A  close 
examination  will  locate   an  enlargement  at  the  junction 
of  the  hock  and  canon  bones  on  the  inside  and  a  little  in 
front.    When  your  horse  shows  a  peculiar  or  new  position

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     63 

while  standing,  makes  a  habit  of  it,  say  the  heel  of  one  foot 
resting  on  the  toe  of  the  other,  dislikes  to  move  from  one 
side  to  the  other  of  the  stall,  begin  to  look  for  Spavin. 
When  moving  does  he  do  so  with  a  sidelong  gait?  When 
he  stops  does  he  stand  with  toe  pointing  forward,  heel  up, 
fetlock  flexed?  Look  for  Spavin.  A  cure  all  depends  upon 
treating  before  the  Spavin  has  become  "fixed,"  hence  it 
is  safe  to  treat  all  suspected  cases  of  Spavin  at  once ;  even 
when  in  doubt  treat  for  the  Spavin ;  no  harm  can  come  from 
timely  efforts,  and  you  will  be  on  the  safe  side.  Remember 
in  all  and  every  case  you  must  give  complete  rest  or  the 
treatment  will  not  avail.  A  Spavin,  in  forming,  grows 
rapidly  and  persistently.  Spavin  lameness  may  be  tested 
by  lifting  the  affected  leg  up  from  the  ground ;  hold  the  foot 
up  high  to  flex  the  joints ;  have  a  helper  ready  with  halter 
in  hand ;  start  off  quickly  on  a  trot ;  if  lameness  is  in  hock 
it  will  easily  prove  the  spavin.     See  chart,  fig.  95-100-101. 

Treatment. — To  be  successful  requires  absolute  rest,  for 
probably  a  month  or  longer.  Alternate  with  hot  and  cold 
applications  of  Liniment  Powder  or  hot^and  cold  water  to 
reduce  the  inflammation,  and  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent 
thoroughly  to  the  enlargement.  Repeat  two  or  three  times 
if  necessary.  Bear  in  mind  if  you  do  not  cure  the  spavin 
you  will  be  curing  the  lameness  and  reduce  the  bunch. 

Thoroughpin,  Bunches  and  Enlargements. — Remove 
mflammation  if  any  exists ;  then  make  two  or  three  applica- 
tions of  Absorbent  as  case  may  require.  You  will  perhaps 
sometimes  fail  in  curing  these  troubles,  but  rest  assured  that 
if  they  cannot  be  removed  with  Daniels'  Absorbent,  nothing 
known  to  the  profession  will  effect  a  cure.     Fig.  79-80. 

Cocked  Ankles. — No  doubt  a  partial  dislocation  of  the 
fetlock  joint.  Colts  are  prone  to  this  trouble  and  horses 
with  erect  pasterns  are  likely  to  be  afflicted,  as  they  age. 
Horses  with  faulty  conformation  of  foot,  diseased  tendons 
and  suspensory  ligament  again  account  for  it.  See  illus- 
trated chart,  fig.  49. 

Treatment. — In  young  colts  let  nature  do  the  work ;  use 
ordinary  care  and  their  legs  will  straighten  in  a  short  time. 
Shoeing  is  the  principal  thing;  shorten  toe,  leave  the  heel 
high,  shoe  thin  at  the  toe,  with  high  heels,  on  hind  feet 
long  heeled  shoe  outside,  say  an  inch  longer  than  the  inside, 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle

with  calks ;  if  hind  foot,  a  long  heeled  shoe  with  calks  is 
best ;  good  judgment  in  shoeing  is  a  great  help.  Remove  the 
inflammation  with  hot  applications  and  apply  Absorbent 
from  one  to  three  times  at  intervals  of  two  weeks. 

In  these  directions  we  strive  to  advise  the  best  to  obtain 
the  best  results,  but  you  can  use  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent 
without  any  of  the  above  suggestions  and  obtain  better  re- 
sults than  from  the  use  of  any  caustic,  absorbent  or  blister 
on  earth  in  removing  Swellings,  Bunches,  Enlargements, 
Curbs,  Splints,  Spavin,  Ringbone,  Thoroughpin,  etc.,  or  in 
treating  Sand  and  Quarter  Cracks,  Split  Hoof,  or  for  any 
use  where  an  absorbent  is  of  service. 

Hitching  Behind. — Results  from  poor  or  wrong  foot  con- 
ditions, hock,  etc.  It  is  noticed  in  over-reaching;  both  feet 
are  at  fault  and  need  treatment.  When  the  stifle  on  one 
side  is  under  the  flank  and  out  from  it  on  the  other,  watch 
the  movements,  up  and  down  hill,  side  hill  and  on  level 
ground.  Strengthen  the  system  and  structure  with  proper 
food,  cold  water  showers,  hand  rubbing  and  Oster-Cocus  to 
strengthen  the  muscles.  Shoeing  has  much  to  do  in  over- 
coming the  trouble. 

Stumbling. — Usually  from  som.e  diseased  condition  of  the 
foot. 

Treatment. — Reduce  the  hoof  all  it  will  stand;  have  equal 
depth  on  both  sides  of  toe ;  have  the  shoe  bent  up  at  the 
toe,  looking  when  on  like  a  well  worn  shoe.  The  calks  when 
used  should  be  at  the  inside  margin  of  web ;  have  it  low. 
Apply  Hoof  Grower  to  coronet  and  keep  the  foot  in  a  wet 
swab  when  in  the  stable.  Look  at  the  foot  for  deep  com- 
missures, bruised  heel,  low  or  thin  sole  in  front  of  the  frog. 
Shoe  to  protect  tender  places. 

Neurotomy  or  Unnerving. — Is  an  operation  performed 
on  horses  which  are  lame  from  supposedly  incurable  affec- 
tions, like  navicular  trouble,  by  the  removal  of  the  sensory 
nerve  or  nerves  above  the  seat  of  the  pain.  The  operation 
takes  the  sense  of  feeling  from  almost  the  entire  leg  from 
a  little  below  the  elbow,  and  is  especially  used  when  the 
seat  of  pain  is  in  the  knee  or  fetlock  About  an  inch  of  the 
median  nerve  on  the  inside  of  the  leg  just  below  the  elbow 
and  at  the  near  end  of  the  radius  of  the  forearm  is  removed. 
Many  serious  consequences  are  likely  to  follow  unnerving.

GERMS,  MICROBES  AND  DISINFECTANTS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  a  Medicinal  Disinfectant  and  Antiseptic, 
Deodorizer  and  Purifier,  and  its  use  in  the  Stable,  Kennel,  Hennery  and 
around  the  Farm. 

Disease  and  Death  is  hastened  by  the  presence  of  decay 
of  any  kind,  accumulations  of  filth  and  decaying  matter, 
and  all  substances  that  emit  stench  are  hot-beds  of  disease. 
The  germ  danger  is  so  widely  recognized  by  authorities  in 
the  present  age  that  it  seems  hardly  necessary  to  remind  the 
reader  of  the  great  importance  of  destroying  all  foul  matter 
on  discovery,  the  urgent  need  of  disinfecting  the  premises, 
and  above  all,  the  importance  of  cleansing  and  disinfecting 
sores  and  wounds  of  any  kind,  and  keeping  them  clean. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  is  one  of  the  greatest  clean- 
sers for  sores,  wounds,  etc.,  on  earth.  It  should  always  be 
used  for  cleansing  and  disinfecting  any  Abscess,  Sore,  Har- 
ness Gall,  Quittor,  Fistula,  or  wound  of  any  kind,  before 
trying  to  heal  or  cure  with  any  remedy  of  whatever  nature. 
No  remedy,  however  good,  can  do  its  work  while  such  sore  or 
wound  is  poisoned  by  dirt,  grease,  proud  flesh,  etc.  Remove 
these  and  you  can  heal  quickly. 

Carbo-Negus  should  be  in  every  house,  stable  and  ken- 
nel. It  prevents  the  spread  of  contagious  diseases  such  as 
Distemper,  Tuberculosis,  Pleuro-Pneumonia,  Abortion,  Hog 
Cholera,  Foot  Rot,  Mange,  Etc. 

Carbo-Negus  destroys  Sheep  Ticks,  Lice,  Fleas,  Maggots, 
Vermin,  Acari  and  germs  of  any  sort. 

Carbo-Negus  is  a  great  remedy  for  Mange,  Eczema  and 
Skin  Ills,  Foot  Rot,  Grease  Heel,  Gall  Sores,  Burns,  Cuts  and 
Wounds. 

Wash  your  horses  and  cattle  with  weak  solution  of  Carbo- 
Negus,  and  they  will  not  take  the  larvae  into  the  system  and 
have  bots.  They  will  not  suffer  from  the  annoyance  of  flies. 
Before  milking  spray  your  cow  with  a  solution  of  Carbo-

Negus ;  flies  won't  bother.  Carbo-Negus  is  a  cleanser  and 
purifier,  a  germ  and  proud  flesh  destroyer,  and  a  healer. 
Less  expensive,  safer  and  better  than  carbolic  acid,  iodo- 
form, peroxide  of  hydrogen,  or  other  advertised  disinfectants. 

To  Cleanse  and  Disinfect  Sores,  Ulcers,  Wounds, 
Cuts,  Galls,  etc. — Wash  or  syringe  all  sores  thoroughly 
with  solution  of  one  tablespoonful  of  Carbo-Negus  to  quart 
of  water,  repeating  until  relieved. 

Tuberculosis  and  Contagious  Diseases. — To  prevent 
the  spread  of  these  terrible  diseases  wash  hide  thoroughly 
twice  a  week,  or  oftener,  with  solution,  2  tablespoons  tp 
quart  of  water ;  sponge  out  nose  and  mouth  with  similar  sol- 
ution. Wash  all  tubs  and  mangers  twice  a  week  with  same. 
Sprinkle  freely  all  about  stables  and  pens  with  two  table- 
spoonfuls  Carbo-Negus  in  a  pail  of  water  daily. 

Leucorrhcea  or  Whites. — The  result  of  continued  sub- 
acute inflammation  of  the  mucous  membrane  of  the  womb. 
The  discharge  contains  forms  of  bacteria  or  germ  life,  which 
must  be  destroyed  before  effecting  a  cure. 

Treatment. — Consists  in  the  use  of  tonics  for  the  system 
and  blood.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  two  doses  daily  for 
two  or  three  weeks.  Give  bran  mashes,  roots  and  soft  foods 
frequently.  Wash  out  the  womb,  using  a  quart  of  warm 
water  with  one-fourth  teaspoonfulof  Carbo-Negus,  repeating 
daily  for  as  long  as  the  discharge  is  noticed. 

Stings  and  Bites  of  Insects,  Bees,  Wasps  and  Hor- 
nets.— Paint  the  part  affected  with  Carbo-Negus,  using  it 
full  strength,  every  hour  and  allow  to  dry,  until  pain  ceases. 

Purifying  the  Stable. — Sprinkle  daily  with  a  solution 
of  Carbo-Negus  around  the  stable  and  floor ;  keep  the  stable 
clean  and  sweet.     Two  tablespoonfuls  to  gallon  water. 

Maggots  in  Wounds,  Sores  or  in  Sheep.— Clean  out  with 
solution  of  Carbo-Negus.  One  tablespoonful  to  a  quart  of 
water,  repeating  until  conditions  are  righted. 

Thrush  and  Foot-Rot. — A  gill  of  Carbo-Negus  to  a 
pint  of  water.  Soak  thoroughly  night  and  morning,  or  often- 
er, if  possible,  then  apply  Daniels'  Canker  Remedy. 

Scratches,  Grease  Heel. — Two  tablespoonfuls  of  Carbo- 
Negus  in  quart  of  warm  water.  Wash  thoroughly  and  wipe 
dry.  Cover  raw  surfaces  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  after 
washing,  or  apply  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Gall  Cura  Salve. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels*  Veterinary  Medicines.      67 


Prick  or  Nail  in  the  Foot. — Soak  the  foot  in  sol- 
ution of  one  gill  of  Carbo-Negus  to  two  quarts  of  warm 
water.  Pack  the  opening  with  oakum  or  sponge  wet  with 
Wonder  Worker  Lotion,  repeating  until  recovery. 

Itching  Tails  and  Manes. — Wash  thoroughly  with  a 
solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  one  tablespoonful  to  a  quart  of 
water,  two  or  three  times  daily. 

Leg-Wash. — After  hard  driving  or  track  work.  Two 
teaspoonfuls  to  a  quart  of  water.  Thoroughly  wash,  and  rub 
dry.  Prevents  swelling  and  stimulates  circulation.  Makes 
a  nice  liniment.     Removes  inflammation. 

Collar  and  Saddle  Galls. — ^Wash  thoroughly  and  often. 
Use  two  teaspoonfuls  of  Carbo-Negus  to  a  quart  of  water, 
after  which  apply  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Wash  the  inside 
of  the  collar  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  every  day  and 
hot  weather  will  not  show  up  these  sores. 

Cuts,  Wounds  and  Sores. — Wash  with  a  solution  of 
two  teaspoonfuls  of  Carbo-Negus  to  a  quart  of  water  several 
times  daily.     Great  for  Barbed  Wire  Cuts  and  Sores. 

Inflamed  or  Fevered  Surfaces. — Wash  with  solution 
of  a  teaspoonful  to  a  quart  of  hot  water  several  times  daily. 

Body  Wash. — Sponge  the  animal  with  solution  of  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  Carbo-Negus  to  half  pail  of  water.  It 
leaves  the  skin  in  a  bright  condition.     Rub  dry. 

Mange,  any  Animal. — ^Wash  with  solution  of  one  gill  of 
Carbo-Negus  to  a  gallon  of  water.  Soak  and  rub  it  in  thor- 
oughly and  well.  When  the  skin  is  diseased  only  in  spots  after 
one  washing  all  over,  use  a  sponge  and  wash  affected  parts 
several  times  daily  and  apply  Daniels'  Mange  Specific. 

Cuts,  Wounds  and  Injuries. — From  external  violence 
may  be  classed  as  clean  cuts,  punctures,  lacerated  wounds 
such  as  broken  knees  and  bruises.  One  of  the  first  things 
of  importance  in  case  of  open  wounds  is  to  keep  out  poison 
germs,  especially  putrefactive  or  pus  germs.  The  skin  and 
mucous  membrane  protect  the  body  with  considerable  ef- 
ficiency from  the  action  of  bacteria,  but  when  either  of 
these  coverings  become  injured  by  a  wound  or  bruise,  the 
underlying  tissues  are  rendered  specially  open  to  attack,  as 
seen  by  the  tendency  to  form  pus,  which  readily  dissolves 
surrounding  tissue  and  may  produce  blood  poisoning  which 
is  generally  so  fatal  to  life  and  always  prolongs  the  healing 


Home  Treatment  FOR   Horses   and    Cattle 


68        Dr  .  A .  C .  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

of  the  injury.  How  important  then  is  the  matter  of  clean- 
liness upon  the  destruction  of  germ  life  existing  in  almost 
any  sore.  On  it  depends  the  success  in  treating  such  wounds 
and  when  a  cut  or  injury  occurs  on  or  near  to  a  joint,  like 
hock,  knee  or  ankle,  we  must  use  every  effort  to  destroy 
the  germ  life  sure  to  appear  therein,  and  nothing  can  equal 
Dr.  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  in  solution  with  hot  water,  for 
the  killing  of  all  germ  life,  and  the  real  healing  of  these  in- 
juries.    Kill  the  germs  and  prevent  Blood  Poisoning. 

The  common  house  fly  is  probably  responsible  for  the 
spreading  of  more  disease  germs  than  any  other  known 
means.  The  house  fly  could  not  exist  when  absolute  clean- 
liness and  perfect  sanitary  conditions  are  maintained.  Ex- 
terminate the  fly  worms.  Cut  off  the  breeding  places. 
The  house  fly  is  known  today  as  the  "Typhoid  Fly."  Dis- 
ease attacks  humanity  or  animals  only  when  they  are 
brought  into  contact  with  it.  The  house  fly  scatters  the 
seed  of  disease  from  his  body  to  your  food,  fruit,  vegetables 
and  milk.  He  flies  from  dirt,  the  manure,  tubercular  spu- 
tum, typhoid  discharges,  to  the  things  you  eat — poisons 
them,  goes  back  again  to  the  dirt  to  renew  his  dangerous 
work.  Don't  permit  the  flies  in  your  house.  Do  not  allow 
them  to  alight  on  the  food.  Don't  buy  your  food  where 
flies  are  allowed  to  swarm.  Keep  fruit  and  confectionery 
away  from  the  flies.  Don't  under  any  circumstances  allow 
the  flies  to  crawl  over  baby's  mouth  and  over  the  nipple  of 
nursing  bottle. 

Keep  everything  clean.  The  house  fly  breeds  in  the 
manure  pile,  kitchen  waste  and  offal.  Dispose  of  these  in 
such  a  way  as  to  keep  things  clean.  Use  Carbo-Negus 
freely.  Screen  doors  and  windows.  Keep  out  the  fly. 
Stables  should  have  a  manure  bin  with  screw  top.  The 
fly  drinks  as  he  eats.  Give  him  water  with  a  few  drops  of 
Carbo-Negus.  To  kill  flies  heat  a  shovel  hot  and  drop  there- 
on half  teaspoonful  of  Carbo-Negus.  The  vapor  disposes 
of  them — a  cheap  and  reliable  poison  for  flies  and  harmless 
to  human  life  is  bichromate  of  potash.  Dissolve  one  dram 
in  two  ounces  of  water,  adding  a  little  sugar.  Put  some 
of  the  solution  in  shallow  dishes  about  the  room,  or  a 
spoonful  of  formaldehyde  in  a  half  cup  of  water  in  dishes 
about  the  room.

CHAPTER   IX. 

SKIN  DISEASES  OF  THE  HORSE. 
Erythema,  Papules,  Eczema,  Pustules,  Nettle  Rash,  Surfeit  Buds,  Scaly 
Skin,  Dandruff,  Mange,  Nervous  Irritation  of  the  Skin,  Herpes,  Ringworm, 
Itch,  Psora,  Scabies,  Sitfast,  Baldness. 

Skin  Diseases  of  the  Horse  are  many,  and  are  caused 
in  general  by  neglect,  poor  feeding  and  poor  surroundings, 
which  attend  a  run-down  condition,  and  poor  blood.  These 
are  not  so  much  ills  in  themselves,  as  a  rule,  as  they  are 
indications  of  some  disease. 

In  the  treatment  of  all  skin  diseases  the  first  requirement 
is  clean  and  sanitary  conditions,  with  the  proper  kind  of 
feed  and  pure  water,  and  it  is  well  to  bear  in  mind  as  a  rule 
a  remedy  that  will  cure  one  form  of  these  skin  diseases  is 
usually  of  much  benefit  for  treating  all  the  others. 

Therefore,  for  all  skin  diseases,  give  Dr.  Daniels'  Physic 
Ball,  Epsom  Salts  or  linseed  oil  for  physic,  and  bran  mash- 
es, chopped  roots  and  soft  foods,  and  to  the  latter  should  be 
added  a  dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator,  once  or  twice 
daily.     The  bowels  should  be  kept  in  a  laxative  condition. 

The  different  forms  of  skin  diseases  are  termed  according 
to  their  appearance,  as  follows: 

Erythema. — The  skin  has  a  slight  redness,  somewhat 
congested,  swollen  and  tender,  with  heat  and  dryness,  the 
hair  coming  out,  with  little  or  no  eruptions. 

Treatment. — Give  bran  mashes,  once  a  day  for  a  week, 
adding  a  Horse  Renovator  thereto.  Give  a  Physic  Ball. 
Nourishing  diet  is  necessar}^  It  would  be  well  to  wash  the 
skin  often  with  solution  of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  in  warm 
water. 

Papules. — Skin  is  congested  with  small  pimples,  hardly 
showing  through  the  hair,  sometimes  forming  as  blisters. 

Treatment. — Same  as  for  Erythema. 

Eczema. — There  are  several  varieties,  seeming  to  be  an 
inflammation  of  the  superficial  layers  of  the  skin,  with  pim- 
ples, itching,  and  sometimes  scales ;  hair  comes  off  quite  ex- 

HoME  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


70    Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

tensively.  It  is  common  and  often  confounded  with  Itch 
and  Erysipelas.  These  pimples  appear  in  successive  crops 
and  have  a  moist,  straw  colored  fluid.  They  form  a  sort  of 
yellow  scab  or  crust.  If  these  are  rubbed  or  irritated  they 
simply  spread  and  prolong  the  disease. 

Treatment. — When  they  have  the  moist  form  you  should 
observe  the  same  treatment  for  feed,  physic,  bran  mashes, 
roots,  etc.,  as  for  Erythema,  and  wash  the  skin  with  strong 
solution  of  Carbo-Negus.  In  scaly  forms,  soak  the  crust  with 
oil  when  it  can  be  easily  removed,  and  wash  then  with  sol- 
ution of  Carbo-Negus.  Much  depends  upon  the  feed  and 
care.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  should  be  given  quite  ex- 
tensively in  all  cases  of  Eczema.  As  an  ointment,  Daniels' 
Mange  Remedy  is  unexcelled  for  all  these  forms  of  skin 
eruptions. 

Pustules. — Eruptions  with  small  sack  of  creamy  w^hite 
pus,  at  the  point  of  eruption,  varying  in  size,  some  as  large 
as  a  hazel-nut,  the  hair  over  the  pustules  standing  up 
and  is  frequently  shed  with  the  scab.  Old  horses  suffer 
most  at  the  mane  and  tail ;  young  horses  around  the  mouth, 
and  under  the  thighs  and  tail.  Farcy  buds  or  the  pustules 
of  Glanders  somewhat  resemble  and  are  often  mistaken  for 
ordinary  Pustules  but  they  may  be  distinguished  by  their 
watery  contents  and  cord-like  swellings  along  the  line  of 
the  veins. 

Treatment, — Physic  Ball,  same  care  as  to  feed,  and  gener- 
ous use  of  Horse  Renovator,  and  wash  with  Carbo-Negus. 
Dr.  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  is  recommended  for 
many  of  these  eruptions. 

Nettle-Rash  and  Surfeit  Buds. — Cutaneous  nodules, 
from  the  size  of  a  hazel  to  hickory  nut.  They  seldom  form 
a  blister  or  pustule. 

Treatment. — Clear  the  bowels,  with  Dr.  Daniels'  Physic 
Ball,  soft  foods,  roots,  bran  mashes  and  Horse  Renovator. 
This  latter  give  twice  a  day  for  a  week.  Care  as  to  grooming 
and  surroundings.  Wash  the  sores  or  swelHngs  with  solution 
of  Carbo-Negus. 

Scaly  Skin. — Dry  with  dandruff. 

Treatment. — Physic  Ball,  roots,  and  bran  mashes.  Horse 
Renovator  twice  daily.  Clean  oats  and  hay,  fresh  air,  and 
pure  water.     Wash  the  skin  in  solution  of  Carbo-Negus. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels*  Veterinary  Medicines.     71 

Nervous  Irritation  of  the  Skin. — Common  in  sum- 
mer, showing  pimples  at  the  mane  and  tail. 

Treatment. — Give  Physic  Ball,  bran  mashes,  with  Horse 
Renovator  every  day  for  a  week  or  more.  Good  oats  and 
hay,  roots,  and  soft  food.    Apply  Daniels'  Mange  Remedy. 

Herpes. — Small  eruptions  in  clusters,  drying  up.  The 
vesicles  appear  somewhat  larger  than  in  Eczema.  It  appears 
in  irregular  patches  at  the  junction  of  the  skin  and  mucous 
membranes,  particularly  in  nursing  foals.  It  also  appears 
in  adult  life  in  the  form  of  pimples  distributed  over  the  body 
in  circular  patches.  The  hair  falls  off  and  exposes  eruptions 
and  scaly  skin.  Said  to  be  due  to  parasite.  The  erup- 
tions do  not  seem  to  break  but  dry  up. 

Treatment. — Feed  as  for  other  skin  diseases,  and  wash  with 
Carbo-Negus  and  apply  Daniels'  Mange  Remedy. 

Mange. — Caused  by  species  of  "acari"  or  germ  burrow- 
ing under  the  skin.  Attacks  unhealthy,  unclean,  coarse- 
bred,  hairy-limbed  horses.  It  is  very  contagious.  Should 
be  isolated.  There  is  itching,  rubbing  and  biting  the  skin. 
Hair  falls  off  in  patches.  The  skin  is  dry,  white  and  lifeless. 
Scales  like  white  dust  fall  off  and  red  pimples  appear  which 
become  hard  and  dry.  Cause  the  horse  great  suffering,  and 
he  will  generally  rub  himself  sore.     See  chart,  fig.  54. 

Treatment. — Physic  should  be  given  and  attention  paid 
to  general  feed.  Horse  Renovators  are  very  beneficial  in 
treating  this  form  of  skin  trouble.  They  should  be  given  in 
the  feed  until  the  horse  has  improved.  Wash  with  strong 
solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  and  apply  Daniels'  Mange  Remedy, 
rubbing  it  well  into  the  skin.  It  can  remain  on  from  one 
to  three  days  when  it  should  be  washed  off  again,  and  the 
treatment  repeated.     See  chart,  fig.  53. 

Ringworm. — Is  a  parasite.  They  plant  themselves  in 
the  hair  folUcles.  Damp,  dark  quarters,  and  improper  diet 
favor  this  disease.  Young  horses  seem  to  suffer  the  most. 
The  ringworm  seems  to  consist  of  a  more  or  less  circular 
patch,  showing  a  gray  and  shining  color.  The  hair  falls 
out,  disclosing  very  small  eruptions  or  scales.  It  also  as- 
sumes another  form  which  is  contagious,  having  a  cup- 
shaped,  yellowish  scab  or  crust.    The  odor  is  pecuhar. 

Treatment. — In  either  case  paint  the  spots  with  Carbo- 
Negus,  full  strength,  allowing  to  dry,  after  which  you  can

72     Dr    a.  C.Daniels' Veterinary  Medicines 

apply  Daniels' Mange  Remedy,  rubbing  it  well  into  the  skin, 
allowing  it  to  remain  on  for  twenty-four  hours,  when  you 
should  repeat  the  treatment.  You  should  observe  the  rules 
as  to  physic  and  general  diet  in  treatment  of  Ringworm  as 
all  other  skin  troubles.     See  chart,  fig.  56. 

SiTFASTS. — Hard,  insensible  tumors,  sometimes  termed 
"marbles."  These  should  be  dissected  out  and  dressed 
with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion,  but  if  not  too  prominent  cut 
off  the  hair  covering  them,  and  rub  thoroughly  into  the 
skin  a  little  of  Daniels'  Absorbent  Blister.  This  can  be 
repeated  three  or  four  times  during  the  week,  after  which 
you  can  apply  Mange  Remedy.     See  chart,  fig.  55. 

Lice. — Frequently  from  hens  or  other  cause,  horses  will 
become  afflicted  with  lice,  which  burrow  into  the  skin  and 
cause  a  great  amount  of  itching  and  suffering,  and  tend  to 
make  other  forms  of  skin  disease. 

Treatment. — The  horse  should  be  thoroughly  washed  with 
strong  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  a  few  times. 

Baldness. — May  be  caused  by  parasites  or  disturbed  nu- 
trition. It  usually  occurs  suddenly,  without  apparent  irrita- 
tion or  itching. 

Treatment. — Wash  with  strong  solution  of  Carbo-Negus, 
and  apply  Daniels'  Mange  Remedy  or  Gall-Cura,  rubbing  it 
thoroughly  into  the  skin,  repeating  it  daily. 

Boils. — Appear  on  any  part  of  the  skin,  but  more  fre- 
quently on  the  lower  part  of  the  limbs,  shoulders  and  back. 
These  have  a  deep  seated  core,  which  distinguishes  them 
from  the  farcy  bud  in  Glanders. 

Treatment. — These  can  be  poulticed,  lanced  and  the  core 
dissected,  cleaned  and  healed  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion. 

When  the  skin  is  dry,  hard,  scaly,  tight,  seeming  hide- 
bound, it  indicates  Indigestion,  Worms,  etc. 

When  the  skin  is  itching,  does  not  shed  the  coat,  is  tense 
and  hidebound,  the  horse  appearing  "pot  bellied,"  indicates 
Diabetes. 

Skin  cold  and  shivering  indicates  Heart  Disease. 

Skin  hot  indicates  Inflammation  of  the  Intestines. 

When  the  skin  sweats  profusely,  it  indicates  Brain  Trou- 
bles, Meningitis,  and  Bowel  Troubles.  If  the  perspiration  be 
particularly  cold,  look  out  for  Rupture  of  Stomach.  Write 
to  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels,  if  further  advice  is  desired.

CHAPTER  X. 

DISEASES  OF  THE  HOOF. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower  and  Softener  and  its  use  in  the  treatment 
of  Contraction,  Corns,  Hard,  Dry,  Brittle  or  Shelly  Hoofs,  Sand  Cracks, 
Quarter  Cracks,  Bruised  Sole,  Clicking,  Over-reaching,  Pumice,  etc.,  etc. 

No  part  of  the  horse  is  less  understood  or  more  neglected 
than  the  foot.  The  horse  was  created  to  run  wild,  bare- 
footed, his  feet  constantly  moist.  Man  has  changed  his  con- 
dition, keeping  his  feet  almost  constantly  dry,  which  causes 
at  least  one-half  of  all  the  lameness  of  horses.  Dr.  Daniels' 
Hoof  Grower  is  a  positive  remedy  for  all  ailments  of  horse's 
feet  caused  by  hard  and  constant  driving  on  hard  roads, 
or  by  standing  in  the  stables.     See  chart,  fig.  68. 

It  will  prevent  and  remove  all  brittleness,  cures  and  pre- 
vents shelliness,  quarter  crack,  corns,  bruised  sole,  tumor 
of  the  foot,  false  quarters,  contraction,  sand  cracks,  seedy- 
toe  and  all  hoof  troubles.  In  all  of  these  troubles  a  new 
hoof  must  be  grown.  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower  is 
warranted  to  grow  an  entirely  new  hoof  in  from  three  to 
iour  months.     See  chart,  fig.  69. 

It  is  especially  recommended  for  trotting,  driving,  carriage 
or  work  horses,  where  shoeing  is  needed  often,  as  it  grows 
plenty  of  hoof  to  be  cut  away,  toughens  the  whole  foot  so 
that  the  nails  hold  good,  and  greatly  lessens  the  liability 
of  tearing  away  a  large  piece  of  the  hoof  when  the  shoe  is 
torn  off.  It  makes  soaking  and  packing  entirely  unneces- 
sary, saving  time  and  labor.  In  short,  it  makes  the  hoof 
grow,  softens  and  toughens  it,  and  draws  out  the  soreness 
as  no  amount  of  soaking  can  possibly  do. 

To  one  unacquainted  with  the  wonderful  properties  of 
this  remedy,  and  who  has  noticed  the  slow  growth  of  a  hoof, 
it  seems  unreasonable  to  claim  to  grow  an  entirely  new  hoof 
in  so  short  a  time,  and  he  decides  that  it  can  not  be  done. 
Try  this  remedy  and  follow  the  directions  thoroughly,  and 
while  it  may  not  do  all  expected  of  it,  if  you  are  not  sat-

isfied  with  the  results  at  the  end  of  three  or  four  months, 
and  do  not  think  your  money  and  time  well  spent,  go  to  the 
place  you  bought  it  and  get  the  money  you  paid  for  it. 
Can  anything  be  fairer?  Of  the  twenty-two  millions  odd 
horses  in  this  country,  certainly  half  of  them,  at  some  time 
or  other,  have  trouble  with  their  feet,  and  a  large  proportion 
of  them  become  dead  lame  and  almost  useless.  Think  of 
the  loss  to  the  owners,  to  say  nothing  of  the  pain  and  misery 
enc'ured  by  the  tortured  animals.  All  cannot  be  cured,  but 
all  can  be  helped  and  relieved,  at  a  small  expense  in  time 
and  money.  When  you  notice  the  least  flinching  on  the 
hard  road  or  pavement,  or  going  down  hill,  or  your  horse, 
when  standing  still,  rests  or  puts  out  forefoot,  do  not  delay, 
but  use  this  Hoof  Grower  at  once.  Don't  let  your  animal 
get  lame  before  you  attend  to  him ;  prevention  is  far  better 
than  cure.  Any  of  the  above  signs  are  indications  that  the 
frog  is  hard  and  dry,  the  coronet  is  non-elastic,  or  the  foot 
becoming  contracted.  Examine  the  feet  and  clean  them, 
especially  the  cracks  around  the  frog.  If  they  smell  foul  he 
has  the  Thrush,  in  which  case  use  Wonder  Worker,  as  di- 
rected. Feel  around  the  top  of  the  hoof,  under  the  hair; 
press  the  upper  edge  with  your  nail.  If  found  hard  and  un- 
yielding, rub  on  the  Hoof  Grower,  and  work  it  in  well.  Many 
times  the  upper  edge  of  the  hoof,  which  should  be  quite 
soft,  will  grow  hard  and  curl  over  like  an  ingrowing  nail,  and 
cause  the  most  excruciating  pain. 

The  Frog. — The  cushion  provided  by  nature  to  prevent 
the  effects  of  the  concussion  when  the  foot  strikes  hard 
substances.  When  the  frog  becomes  hard  and  bone-like 
it  loses  all  its  elasticity,  and  is  useless  for  the  purpose  for 
which  it  was  intended,  and  inflammation  quickly  results. 
You  must  pay  close  attention  to  the  frog,  and  when  found 
growing  hard,  apply  the  Hoof  Grower  around  it  and  to  the 
coronet.  In  order  to  have  it  reach  the  very  bottom  of  the 
deep  cracks  around  the  frog,  it  is  best  to  melt  the  ointment 
when  putting  it  in.  Sometimes  it  may  be  more  convenient 
to  put  the  ointment  in  with  the  finger,  and  then  touch  it 
with  a  small  iron  rod  heated  a  little  by  a  lamp  or  stove.  It 
is  no  use  to  use  this  remedy  a  few  times  only,  in  relieving 
sore  and  contracted  feet,  as  no  permanent  good  will  come 
of  it  unless  it  is  used  for  some  length  of  time.

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     75 

Corns. — There  are  several  kinds  of  corns,  the  dry,  the 
moist  and  the  suppurative  ;  all  these  are  found  mostly  in  the 
front  feet.  The  dry  corn  upon  paring  away  the  heel  shows 
the  sole  in  the  angle  discolored,  even  staining  the  laminse 
and  wall ;  if  the  whole  sole  is  discolored  and  the  horn  dry 
and  shelly  it  is  likely  an  old  one.  The  moist  corn  leaves 
no  stain,  or  very  little,  if  any,  but  the  horn  is  soft,  quite 
white  and  mealy,  or  spongy.  The  suppurative  corn,  as  the 
name  indicates,  is  one  in  which  the  inflammation  ends  in 
suppuration ;  the  pus  collects  and  works  its  way  upward, 
escaping  at  the  top  of  the  hoof.  This  form  of  corn  is  ser- 
ious for  its  result  is  the  worst  form  of  quittor. 

Corns  are  commonly  caused  by  the  shoe  pressing  upon  the 
part;  when  the  wall  breaks  down  or  is  cut  away  so  much 
as  to  let  the  shoe  rest  upon  the  sole  or  soft  parts ;  or  if  the 
shoe  be  nailed  well  back  on  the  outside  and  toe,  and  left 
on  too  long ;  high  heels,  contracted  heels,  long  feet,  weak 
feet,  wide  feet  with  flat  sole  are  prone  to  corns. 

Treatment,  Dry  Corn. — Cut  away  the  part,  so  that  the 
shoe  will  not  rest  upon  it ;  touch  the  spot  or  corn  with  the 
hot  iron ;  then  pack  in  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower  and  Softener, 
cover  with  tov/  or  oakum,  and  keep  it  in  place  by  springing 
under  the  shoe  a  strip  of  thin  sheet  iron.  Open  out  the 
quarters  from  time  to  time  and  apply  the  Hoof  Grower  to 
stimulate  the  growth  of  the  horn.  Use  a  bar  shoe,  fitting  it 
to  the  wall  carefully,  and  cutting  out  so  as  to  avoid  any  pres- 
sure to  the  tender  parts.     See  chart,  fig.  65. 

Treatment,  Moist  Corn. — Soak  in  hot  Liniment  Powder 
or  poultice  for  a  couple  of  days ;  when  inflammation  is  re- 
moved pare  out  the  diseased  horn,  cauterize  the  tissues, 
cleanse  and  dress  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  appHed  upon 
absorbent  cotton  or  oakum,  kept  in  place  with  bands,  of 
thin  sheet  iron  as  indicated  before.  Keep  the  dressing  moist 
with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Apply  Hoof  Grower  to  cor- 
onet and  frogs  daily ;  bar  shoe  put  on  with  care  to  avoid 
pressure  on  the  tender  spot.     See  chart,  flg.  66. 

Treatm£nt,  Suppurative  Corns. — Must  be  laid  down  as 
for  Quittor,  pages  55  and  56. 

Bruised  Sole. — Remove  the  inflammation  by  soaking  in 
a  solution  of  hot  Liniment  Powder  for  an  hour ;  clean  thor- 
oughly ;  apply  freely  Hoof  Grower  to  the  bottom  of  the  foot 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


76     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


and  cover  with  leather  and  shoe,  but  remove  all  pressure 
of  the  shoe  from  the  bruise. 

Clicking  and  Over-Reaching  or  Interfering. — Due 
to  weakness  or  faulty  shoeing.  If  the  latter,  remove  the 
cause  ;  if  weakness,  strengthen;  if  in  a  colt,  by  proper  train- 
ing and  driving.  When  caused  from  accident,  grabbing, 
etc.,  immediate  attention  is  required;  neglected,  it  is  liable 
to  bring  on  Quittor,  and  cause  serious  damage.  Many  of 
these  injuries  can  be  lessened  or  prevented  by  proper  shoe- 
ing. When  cuts  exist  Wonder  Worker  freely  used  will  heal 
quickly. 

Pumice  or  Weak  Foot. — Caused  from  inflammation, 
from  laminitis,  dropping  of  the  coffin  bone,  any  cause  pro- 
ducing inflammation  of  the  foot.  It  is  easily  determined 
by  the  extreme  convexity  of  the  sole ;  in  reality  it  cannot 
be  cured ;  care  and  treatment  will,  however,  make  the  ani- 
mal useful.  Where  irritation  exists,  allay  same  by  soaking 
in  a  solution  of  hot  Liniment  Powder ;  use  Dr.  Daniels'  Ab- 
sorbent around  the  coronet  to  stimulate  ;  after  the  blister  is 
healed,  apply  twice  daily  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower  to  the  cor- 
onet, hoof  and  frog ;  it  is  also  very  beneficial  when  applied 
to  the  sole,  frog  and  heel,  for  keeping  the  same  soft  and  as- 
sisting in  the  growth  of  the  new  tissue  and  hoof.  Supply 
and  protect  the  foot  all  you  can  with  a  nicely  fitting  bar 
or  concave  shoe.  As  is  usual  in  the  treatment  of  this  trou-. 
ble,  we  recommend  good  food,  fresh  air  and  a  roomy  stall 
with  clay  bottom.     See  chart,  fig.  61. 

Quarter  Crack. — Is  caused  by  numerous  forms  of  ill 
treatment ;  raising  the  frog  from  the  ground ;  cutting  away 
the  frog  and  sole  of  the  foot  too  much ;  bad  fitting  of  the 
shoes ;  nailing  back  in  the  quarters ;  neglect  in  allowing  the 
feet  to  grow  dry  and  hard ;  allowing  too  excessive  an  ac- 
cumulation of  horn  at  the  heel,  etc.     See  chart,  fig.  134. 

Treatment. — Remove  cause,  whether  it  be  neglect,  care- 
lessness or  shoeing ;  soak  the  foot  liberally  in  hot  w^ater  and 
Liniment  Powder,  two  tablespoonfuls  to  a  quart  of  water, 
will  be  of  great  assistance  ;  with  a  file  cut  down  through  the 
horn,  across  the  crack,  close  up  to  the  coronet  to  the  quick ; 
clean  out  all  dirt ;  pack  with  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower 
and  oakum  or  lint,  to  keep  out  the  dirt ;  pare  out  the  sole 
of  the  foot,  opening  out  the  heel  freely ;  the  surface  of  the

frog  may  be  trimmed  out  a  little,  but  never  touch  the  sides. 
Great  care  should  be  used  in  shoeing  and  expanding  the 
heels.  Horse  Renovator  will  act  as  a  tonic  for  the  stomach, 
blood  and  general  conditions.  If  you  use  the  Hoof  Grower 
daily,  the  hoof  will  be  bright  and  elastic.  To  make  new 
hoof  apply  Hoof  Grower  to  the  coronet  freely  and  often. 

Seedytoe. — Usually  is  caused  by  the  pressure  of  clips, 
rough,  bad-fitting  shoes ;  oftentimes  large  clips  being  ham- 
mered too  firmly  in  hoof,  which  bruises  them.     Chart,  fig.  72. 

Treatment. — In  a  recent  case,  open  it  up  ;  cut  down  at  the 
bottom.  Shoe.  Remove  the  pressure ;  fill  it  in  with  tow 
saturated  with  Hoof  Grower  and  grow  the  hoof.  Take  off 
the  shoe  in  a  month,  cut  down  so  as  to  get  at  the  hollow 
again,  fill  with  tow  and  Hoof  Grower,  repeating  each  month. 
Continue  to  grow  the  hoof  by  a  liberal  use  of  Hoof  Grower 

Sand  Crack. — Remove  the  shoe ;  to  allay  inflammation 
soak  the  foot  in  water  as  hot  as  can  be  borne  with  the  hand. 
If  you  will  add  two  tablespoonfuls  of  Liniment  Powder  to  a 
quart  of  hot  water  you  will  have  more  immediate  results. 
With  a  file  cut  across  and  down  to  the  quick.  Clean  out  the 
dirt ;  fill  in  the  crevices  with  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower  and  then 
pack  in  a  little  oakum  or  lint ;  level  the  foot  down  at  the 
quarter ;  put  a  clip  on  each  side  of  the  toe ;  use  bar  shoe  ;  do 
not  put  the  clips  too  tight ;  apply  Hoof  Grower  to  the  coronet 
daily  to  stimulate  the  health  and  growth  in  the  hoof.  A  cure 
is  hardly  expected  in  a  bad  case.     See  chart,  fig.  135. 

Contraction  of  the  Hoof. — A  common  and  frequent 
cause  for  mysterious  lameness ;  frog  being  raised  by  high 
shoes  from  the  ground,  and  the  sole  being  pared  too  much, 
results  in  a  weakness  which  causes  the  walls  of  the  hoof 
to  come  together.  It  is  needless  to  comment  on  the  manner 
to  prevent  the  contraction  as  conditions  and  methods  of 
shoeing  make  this  a  common  injury.  Although  one  of  the 
prime  causes,  allowing  the  hoof  to  become  dry  and  hard  can 
be  easily  overcome  if  you  use  Hoof  Grower  frequently,  ap- 
plying directly  to  the  hoof.     See  chart,  fig.  46. 

Treatment. — Shorten  the  toe  ;  lower  the  foot ;  open  the  heels 
back  until  cut  to  the  quick ;  pare  the  soles  of  the  foot  closely 
on  each  side  of  the  frog;  do  not  cut  the  sides  of  the  frog; 
there  will  usually  be  inflammation,  which  should  be  allayed 
by  soaking  in  hot  water ;  adding  two  tablespoonfuls  of  Lin- 

Home  Treatment  for  Horsesand  Cattle 


78       Dr.  a.   C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

iment  Powder  to  the  quart  of  hot  v/ater  will  facilitate  in 
allaying  the  soreness  and  inflammation.  Apply  freely,  Hoof 
Grower  to  the  hoof,  frog  and  heels.  As  soon  as  the  hoof  be- 
comes soft  and  pliable,  as  it  will,  begin  to  expand  the  heels 
by  the  use  of  wedges  in  the  shoe.  If  you  apply  Daniels' 
Hoof  Grower  to  the  coronet  twice  daily  it  will  stimulate  the 
growth  of  a  new  hoof  and  in  three  or  four  months  you  will 
have  no  trouble,  as  a  new  hoof  will  take  the  place  of  the 
old  one,  and  if  properly  shod  and  expanded  the  horse's  foot 
will  be  as  good  as  ever.  It  is  needless  to  say  Horse  Reno- 
vator twice  daily,  with  good  food,  fresh  air  and  pure  water 
will  all  help  in  the  improvement  of  the  condition  of  your 
horse. 

Legs  and  Feet. — Examine  legs  and  feet  after  using  your 
horse,  either  for  a  drive  or  after  a  day's  work;  if  swelling 
or  heat  exists,  something  worse  will  follow.  Oster-Cocus 
is  the  finest  liniment  in  the  world  for  swellings,  puffs  and 
bunches  or  strains ;  Wonder  Worker  is  unexcelled  for  cuts, 
wounds  and  abrasions.     Use  them  when  first  required. 

String  Halt. — The  habit  of  jerking  the  hind  limb  or 
limbs  high  up  from  the  ground  when  walking,  is  incurable. 

Flat  Feet. — Common  in  some  breeds,  in  the  forefeet; 
a  broad,  low  heeled  foot,  the  walls  not  upright  as  they 
should  be ;  there  is  no  elasticity  to  this  foot,  and  it  is  liable 
to  bruise  sole,  pumiced  sole,  etc. ;  these  horses  should  be 
shod  with  a  wide  web  shoe,  which  presses  on  the  wall  only, 
the  heel  and  frog  not  to  be  pared. 

Clubfoot. — This  foot  has  the  walls  quite  perpendicular. 
Mules  are  often  clubfooted  behind.  Shoe  such  with  a  long 
projecting  toe  piece  ;  don't  pare  the  toe,  but  lower  the  heels 
all  you  can.    Make  the  heels  of  the  shoe  thin. 

Crooked  Foot. — One  side  of  the  foot  higher  than  the 
other;  they  generally  interfere  and  stumble.  Shoe  to  over- 
come the  defect,  protecting  with  proper  boots. 

Some  men  always  look  their  horses  over  every  time  they 
are  used  "from  head  to  foot."  "No  foot,  no  horse."  A  slight 
strain  or  sprain  or  bruise  promptly  cared  for  saves  money. 

A  perfect  hoof  is  seen  in  colored  chart,  fig.  68.  Good, 
straight  legs  and  feet  seen  in  chart,  fig.  74. 

Write  to  Dr.  Daniels  if  further  advice  is  desired  on  feet, 
legs  and  lameness.

CHAPTER  XL 

LAMINITIS,  NAVICULAR  DISEASE  AND  LAMENESS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels*  Liniment  Powder,  Original  Equine  Bath  and  Track 
Liniment  and  its  use  as  a  body  and  leg  wash  and  sponging  and  steam- 
ing liniment  in  the  treatment  of  Colds  in  the  Head,  Catarrh,  Nasal  Gleet, 
Sprains,  Strains,  and  General  Lameness,  Swelled  Legs,  Navicular  Dis- 
ease and  Laminitis,  Poll  Evil,  Fistula,  Quittor,  Cording,  Cramps,  Swollen 
Ankles  and  Legs,  Rheumatism,  and  Neuralgia,  Corns,  Etc. 

Is  unequalled  for  track  horses  and  stable  uses;  a  wash 
which  will  aid  and  not  impair.  Never  stiffens  the  cords 
or  muscles.  A  bath  for  track  use  which  every  owner  should 
insist  on  using.  Daniels'  Powder  with  hot  water  makes 
a  liniment  as  strong  as  needed  and  as  much  as  required 
and  is  unequalled  for  reducing  inflammation  in  Strains, 
Sprains,  Bruises,  Sore  Cords  and  Muscles,  Stiff  Joints,  Wind 
Puffs,  Splints,  Shoe  Boils,  Sweeny  Shoulder,  Capped  Hock 
and  Bruised  Knee  or  Elbow,  Thoroughpin,  Side-bones,  Nav- 
icular Disease,  Ring-bone,  Spavin,  etc. 

Wherever  inflammation  or  swelling  exists  the  use  of  Lini- 
ment Powder  will  be  found  without  a  rival ;  two  tablespoon- 
fuls  to  a  quart  of  hot  water  will  reduce  all  inflammatory 
symptoms  and  remove  soreness  quicker  and  with  more  sat- 
isfactory results  than  anything  else  in  the  world. 

In  offering  this  Powder  to  the  public  we  are  furnishing 
an  article  original  in  its  composition,  unique  in  its  form, 
unequalled  in  its  merits,  and  matchless  in  its  effect ;  at 
once,  clean,  attractive,  convenient  and  pure ;  compounded

known  to  science  and  the  materia  medica,  a  combination

It  is  a  well  established  and  settled  fact  in  the  minds  of 
horsemen  that  the  horse  requires  something  to  relieve  the  in- 
tense strain  imposed  upon  the  animal  in  this  era  of  "Record 
Breaking  and  Making."  '*What  shall  we  use?"  is  the  great 
question.  It  has  for  years  been  the  practice  of  trackmen 
to  resort  to  the  use  of  those  highly  irritating  and  dangerous 
liniments  and  nostrums,  often  propounded  by  ignorant  and 
unscrupulous  men  to  relieve  the  horse  of  pain  and  stiffness 
after  hard  driving  and  work,  with  the  never-failing  result 
of  increased  soreness,  stiffness  and  lameness,  until  the  horse, 
seeming  in  fine  form  to-day,  is  lame  the  next,  grows  worse 
with  the  usual  harsh  treatment,  soon  goes  dead  lame,  and 
shortly  is  sold  as  a  "has-been."  Use  this  liniment  once  arid 
be  convinced  that  you  have  something  better  than  you  ever 
used  before.  Any  horseman  using  a  box  as  directed  of  this 
Liniment  Powder,  and  not  being  entirely  satisfied  with  the 
result,  can  have  his  money  refunded  no  matter  where  he 
buys  it. 

Sponging  the  Mouth  and  Nostrils. — One  tablespoon- 
ful  of  powder  to  a  quart  of  hot  water.  Sponge  out  freely 
mouth  and  nostrils ;  it  cools,  revives  and  invigorates. 

Body  Wash. — After  hard  work,  one  tablespoonful  of 
powder  to  a  quart  of  hot  water ;  wash  with  sponge ;  follow 
with  dry  cloth  and  blanket.  Nothing  can  be  better.  Dr. 
Daniels'  Liniment  Powder  or  Equine  Bath  will  not  lame  your 
horse  by  contracting  skin,  muscles  and  ligaments.  Does  not 
incite  heat,  irritation  or  inflammation.  Will  not  make  skin 
dry  and  hard  or  the  hair  sticky,  coarse  and  rough.  Does  not 
blister,  sting  or  burn.  Will  not  weaken  and  stiffen  by  ab- 
sorbing the  natural  muscle  oil.  Does  not  stupefy  the  mus- 
cles, ending  in  rigidity,  atrophy  and  partial  paralysis,  but  will 
prevent  all  these  disasters,  and  keep  your  horse  in  good  order. 

Leg  Wash. — Two  tablespoonfuls  of  powder  to  a  quart 
of  hot  water ;  bathe  the  legs  with  sponge ;  when  possible, 
allow  the  foot  to  stand  in  the  bucket,  to  cover  the  ankles ; 
a  few  minutes  hand  rubbing  will  relieve  all  the  strain  and 
soreness ;  wipe  dry.     See  chart,  fig.  67. 

Steaming  for  Colds  and  Head  Troubles. — One  tea- 
spoonful  of  powder  to  quart  of  hot  water;  keep  hot  by 
placing  hot  irons  in  pail.  Cover  the  head  with  blanket  or 
hood,  steaming  thoroughly.     See  chart,  fig.  19.

For  all  uses  except  body  wash  and  steaming  use  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  Liniment  Powder  to  a  quart  of  water. 

Sprains  and  Strains. — Common  and  are  liable  to  spoil 
a  horse  if  neglected  or  not  treated  properly ;  result  in  the 
main  from  over  stretching  of  the  muscles,  tendons  or  liga- 
ments. At  this  time  some  remedy  is  required  for  relief; 
Daniels'  Liniment  Powder  will  surpass  your  expectations. 
It  will  prevent  and  reduce  all  swellings,  extract  all  pain,  sore- 
ness and  aches;  strengthen  spine,  back,  ligaments,  muscles, 
tendons,  and  remove  all  stiffness  from  the  joints  and  bones. 
Increases  brawn,  muscle  and  ambition;  gives  force  and  en- 
ergy ;  keeps  skin  clean  and  smooth  ;  makes  the  hair  soft  and 
glossy ;  invigorates  lungs  and  respiratory  organs ;  cleans  the 
head  and  nostrils ;  tones  up  the  muscular  organism  at  once. 
Two  tablespoonfuls  to  quart  of  hot  water. 

Shoulder  Joint  Lameness. — The  horse  drags  his  toe, 
throws  leg  out  at  each  movement  of  the  limb.  By  turning 
the  horse  nearly  in  a  circle  you  can  more  readily  locate  the 
shoulder  trouble.  If  he  can  step  over  a  log  six  or  eight  in- 
ches high  it  is  not  his  shoulder.     See  chart,  fig.  52. 

Treatment. — To  reduce  the  inflammation  which  is  sure 
to  exist,  make  alternate  applications  of  hot  and  cold  water, 
bearing  in  mind  to  have  the  water  as  hot  as  can  be  borne. 
If  you  add  two  tablespoonfuls  of  Liniment  Powder  you  will 
have  more  satisfactory  results.  Cover  the  hot  cloths  with 
thick  dry  blankets.  This  helps  to  keep  them  warm  and 
steams  the  shoulder.  As  soon  as  the  inflammation  is  al- 
layed, clip  or  shave  the  hair  off  immediately  over  the  joint 
or  point  of  lameness.  Rub  in  thoroughly  some  of  Daniels' 
Absorbent  Remedy ;  tie  head  up  so  he  cannot  bring  it  in  con- 
tact with  shoulder.  AIIoav  soft  bedding  as  horse  will  stamp 
hard  while  the  Absorbent  is  working.  Keep  bowels  open; 
give  soft  food ;  bran  mashes,  adding  twice  a  day  to  feed  Dan- 
iels' Horse  Renovator  as  tonic  to  the  system.  Never  blister 
while  inflammation  exists ;  you  simply  increase  lameness  if 
you  do  so.  If  you  do  not  care  to  go  to  the  expense  or  trouble 
to  have  the  best  treatment,  the  use  of  plain  hot  water  al- 
ternating with  cold  is  better  than  no  treatment  at  all. 

Shoulder  Lameness. — A  straining  of  the  muscles  and 
ligaments  which  often  leads  to  Sweeny,  and  is  caused  by 
sHpping,  hard  ploughing,  accidents,  etc. ;  indicated  by  the 


Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


82        Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

horse  stepping  longer  with  lame  and  shorter  with  the  well 
one ;  points  the  leg  out  and  carries  it  to  the  side.  Absolute 
rest  is  required;  applications  of  hot  water  alternating  with 
cold  until  the  inflammation  has  subsided,  after  which  apply 
Daniels'  Absorbent  as  directed  in  Shoulder  Joint  Lameness. 
If  taken  at  first  indications  of  the  trouble,  frequent  appli- 
cations of  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  reducing  it  with  kerosene 
or  alcohol  if  it  is  too  strong,  will  give  very  satisfactory  re- 
sults. Do  not  forget  the  benefit  to  be  derived  from  keeping 
the  bowels  open ;  feeding  soft  foods ;  bran  mashes  and  Horse 
Renovator  daily. 

Rickets. — Soft  bones,  lack  of  structure  showing  tumor- 
ous appearing  joints ;  defective  feeding  is  the  cause. 

Treatment. — Change  the  mare's  feed.  Plenty  of  chopped 
roots,  good  oats,  clean  hay  sprinkled  with  lime  water,  or 
salted  water  and  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  in  the  feed 
twice  daily..  The  colt  should  have  similar  food  as  soon  as 
possible,  in  fact,  give  him  to  drink  a  little  slacked  lime 
water ;  put  it  in  the  milk  and  soft  foods  first  given  him ; 
add  a  portion  of  a  Horse  Renovator  twice  a  day.  Cure 
all  depends  upon  the  food. 

Strain  of  the  Fetlock  Joint. — Give  a  rest.  Reduce 
the  inflammation  by  standing  in  a  bath  of  hot  Liniment 
Powder  sufficient  to  cover  the  foot,  two  tablespoonfuls  to 
a  quart  of  water,  frequently  removing  the  foot  and  plung- 
ing into  a  bath  of  cold  water  for  a  moment  or  two  at  a  time; 
continue  for  half  hour,  repeating  two  or  three  times  daily. 
Bandage  at  night  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion ;  during  the 
day  rub  on  Oster-Cocus  Liniment.  In  severe  cases  a  plaster 
cast  may  have  to  be  worn  for  three  or  four  weeks,  putting 
the  horse  in  a  sling.  If  swelling  remains  after  the  lameness 
is  dissipated,  remove  by  applying  Daniels'  Absorbent. 

Strains  of  the  Loin  and  Back. — Bathe  freely  with  two 
tablespoonfuls  of  Liniment  Powder  to  quart  of  water.  Wet  a 
woolen  cloth  as  hot  as  can  be  borne  and  lay  over  the  back 
and  loins ;  covering  with  a  blanket  makes  the  finest  steamer 
possible.  Keep  the  bowels  open  with  soft  foods  and  bran 
mashes,  adding  Horse  Renovator  thereto  twice  a  day.  After 
each  steaming  rub  on  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  reducing  if  too 
strong  with  alcohol  or  kerosene  oil.  Suspend  in  a  sling  when 
possible.    Electric  treatment  sometimes  is  a  help.

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.      83 

Breaking  Down,  Rupture  of  Suspensory  Ligament. — 
The  principal  mainstay  of  the  fetlock.  Sometimes  mistaken 
for  rupture  of  the  tendon.  Occurs  in  the  fore  legs  in  trot- 
ters and  hunters,  while  in  draft  horses  it  appears  in  the 
hind  legs  more  frequently. 

Treatment. — Place  in  a  sling.  Reduce  the  inflammation  by 
applying  hot  appHcations  of  Liniment  Pow^der,  two  table- 
spoonfuls  to  a  quart  of  water.  Apply  splints,  and  bandage 
with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Feed  soft  foods,  give  Horse 
Renovator  twice  daily  in  the  food.  A  permanent  thicken- 
ing generally  is  left.  When  the  animal  is  recovered  sufficient- 
ly to  use  the  leg,  take  off  the  splints  and  bandages ;  apply 
Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent,  repeating  two  or  three  times  if  nec- 
essary at  intervals  of  two  weeks. 

Sprung  Knees  and  Knuckling  Over. — ^When  inflam- 
mation from  work  or  sprain  occurs  in  a  joint  sufficiently  to 
permanently  impair  its  power  of  movement,  adhesions  will 
be  found  about  the  part  and  a  shortening  of  the  ligaments 
which  prevent  the  extension  of  the  joint  and  check  the  de- 
scent of  the  fetlock  pad.  On  the  further  progress  of  the 
case  there  will  generally  be  a  deposit  of  secretions  about 
the  part  and  the  gradual  conversion  into  bone  of  the  fibrous 
structures  and  cartilages  of  the  joint.  The  only  chance  of 
a  cure  is  when  the  cartilages  have  remained  intact  or  when 
the  deposit  is  so  situated  as  not  to  interfere  with  the  move- 
ment of  the  joint.  There  is  no  hope  of  restoration  when  a 
fracture  of  one  or  more  of  the  sesamoid  bones  which  lie  at 
the  back  of  the  fetlock  has  occurred.     See  chart,  fig.  50-59. 

Treatment. — Alternate  applications  of  hot  and  cold  water. 
Rub  on  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  freely  and  repeatedly,  or 
apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent,  covering  the  knee  joint,  first 
removing  the  hair,  to  absorb.  Lower  the  manger  an  inch  or 
two  every  week,  until  they  have  to  eat  off  the  floor.  In 
shoeing  lower  the  heels  and  lengthen  the  toes. 

Sprains  of  the  Back  Tendons. — In  most  cases  of  this 
kind  it  is  the  ligaments  and  not  the  tendons  that  are  injured. 
The  horse  is  lame  ;  the  part  is  hot  and  swollen.  Limb  is 
held  forward,  hardly  touching  ground.  If  you  pinch  the  foot, 
animal  evinces  pain.  In  sprains  of  this  nature,  you  must 
give  absolute  rest.  Foment  with  solutions  of  hot  Liniment 
Powder.      Alternate  with  showers  of  cold  water  until  inflam- 

HoME  Treatment   for  Horses  and   Cattle 


84    Dr.  a.   C.   Daniels*  Veterinary  Medicines 

mation  is  subdued.  Then  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus 
Liniment  during  the  day,  or  put  on  thick  woolen  bandage 
saturated  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Feed  soft  foods  and 
bran  mashes,  adding  Horse  Renovator  thereto  twice  a  day. 
In  applying  bandages  begin  below  and  bind  upwards  towards 
knee.     High  heels  on  shoe.     See  chart,  fig.  117. 

Navicular  Disease  of  the  Foot. — Difficult  to  cure  but 
easily  relieved  with  care  and  patience.  Whenever  you  see 
the  horse  pointing  a  foot  while  at  rest  watch  future  actions. 
He  will  point  the  foot  long  before  lameness  is  seen,  and  thus 
early  is  the  time  to  easily  treat.  While  working  he  will  at 
first  show  no  lameness,  but  as  soon  as  stabled  the  horse 
will  point,  heel  resting  on  the  other  foot ;  after  a  time  the 
horse  will  take  a  few  lame  steps  at  work,  but  this  lameness 
goes  as  quickly  as  it  comes.  You  Vv^on't  be  quite  sure  of  any 
lameness  at  all.  Still  later  he  will  have  some  lame  spells, 
lasting  even  all  da}^  but  all  over  it  by  morning.  When 
put  to  work  again  he  will  soon  go  lame,  and  so  on  from  time 
to  time  until  he  perhaps  goes  lame  for  a  week  or  more, 
recovers  and  shows  no  lameness  for  several  weeks,  but  it 
is  sure  to  return,  and  after  all  this  delay,  treatment  becomes 
almost  useless.  Lameness  in  Navicular  Disease  is  shown 
by  short  steps  by  the  affected  leg,  the  toe  first  striking  the 
ground  wearing  the  shoe  to  a  point.     Chart,  fig.  43-44-48. 

Treatment. — Put  foot  so  troubled  in  a  hot  bath  of  Lin- 
iment Powder  once  or  twice  a  day.  Have  bath  at  least  six 
inches  deep,  alternately  plunging  foot  a  few  seconds  at  a 
time  into  cold  water.  When  inflammation  is  removed  a  good 
blistering  is  required,  and  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent  is  recom- 
mended for  this  purpose.  It  may  be  repeated  two  or  three 
times.  Do  not  work  while  treating  and  turn  to  pasture  when 
possible.  Use  Hoof  Grower  to  stimulate  hoof  growth.  Fig.  67. 

Laminitis,  Founder. — Like  navicular  disease  of  the  foot, 
Laminitis,  Founder  or  fever  in  the  foot,  may  be  considered 
one  of  the  most  dangerous  forms  of  lameness.  It  may  be 
acute  or  chronic,  the  first  indicated  by  a  high  state  of  ex- 
citement and  inflammation,  the  second,  by  a  morbid  insen- 
sible feeling.  The  first  or  acute  stage  can  be  invariably 
cured.  The  second  oj"  chronic  stage  is  practically  incurable 
and  this  is  one  of  the  most  painful  of  diseases.  The  acute 
stage  can  be  easily  detected.     It  begins  with  shivering  and 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.   C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines      85 

uneasiness,  the  animal  refuses  food  and  moves  the  fore  feet 
about  uneasily ;  the  mouth  is  hot  and  the  pulse  is  quick ; 
the  horse  is  sometimes  inclined  to  lie  down,  points  with 
his  muzzle  to  his  feet,  which  will  be  found  hot  and  tender. 
Fever  now  sets  in,  quick,  full  pulse,  running  60  to  70  beats 
per  minute.  Animal  acts  stiff  and  moves  with  great  diffi- 
culty and  with  feet  well  drawn  under  him,  backs  with  great 
reluctance,  and  when  forced  to  back,  drags  his  feet,  one 
after  the  other,  and  indicates  pain.     See  chart,  fig.  45. 

Causes. — Any  overtasking  of  the  feet,  pounding  on  hard, 
rough,  or  frozen  roads,  standing  in  draught  while  overheat- 
ed and  exhausted,  bad  shoes,  driving  into  cold  water  while 
warm,  washing  the  feet  in  cold  water  while  warm  and  ne- 
glecting to  dry  them,  too  free  eating  of  oats,  barley,  wheat 
and  other  grains.     See  chart,  fig.  47-92. 

Treatment. — Treat  the  difficulty  at  once.  Remove  the 
shoe,  soak  the  feet  in  a  tub  of  hot  water,  or,  better  still,  in 
solution  of  hot  Liniment  Powder;  rasp  the  wall  level  with 
the  sole,  but  do  not  pare  the  sole.  Allow  plenty  of  water; 
give  immediately  30-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Cough,  Cold 
and  Fever  Drops  every  two  hours  for  twenty-four  hours 
or  until  the  temperature  is  normal.  Blanket  well,  and 
keep  warm.  Keep  wet  cloths  around  the  horse's  feet,  and 
allow  to  stand  on  wet  clay  or  wet  sawdust.  After  profuse 
perspiration  and  reduction  of  the  fever,  take  off  the  blankets 
what  have  become  wet  and  put  on  dry  ones.  Give  the  legs 
hand  rubbing.  Feed  soft  foods  entirely,  mashes,  roots,  etc., 
adding  Horse  Renovator  twice  a  day  in  the  feed,  and  no 
grain  until  recovery .  Have  a  roomy  stall,  free  from  draughts. 
When  convalescing  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Hoof  Grower  around 
the  coronet,  heel  and  frog.  Use  simple  shoe  plates.  Ex- 
ercise easily  and  regularly.  Good  care  and  nursing  will  re- 
lieve your  horse.  If  the  horse  is  at  all  constipated,  give 
Daniels'  Physic  Balls.     Fig.  67. 

Knuckling  of  the  Fetlock  Joint. — Resulting  from  dis- 
ease or  from  ring-bone,  side-bone,  and  diseases  of  the  foot, 
being  put  to  hard  work  too  young,  more  likely  in  hind  than 
in  fore  legs,  leading  to  various  degrees  of  lameness.  There 
is  little  hope  of  effecting  a  cure  without  care  and  patience. 

Treatment. — First  rest  from  work,  turn  loose,  give  par- 
ticular care  to  the  feet  and  shoeing  with  a  high  heel;  of 

-Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


86      Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

course  the  lameness  may  be  somewhat  modified  by  soaking, 
sweating,  and  the  use  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment, 
or  apply  Daniels'  Absorbent  Remedy,  repeating  at  intervals 
of  two  weeks.     Possibly  three  applications  may  be  required. 

Sore  Forward,  Tender  Feet. — "Quitter"  on  the  track 
or  road,  pounding  too  much  for  him,  courage  and  speed  go 
together ;  two  large  spoonfuls  of  Liniment  Powder  to  a  quart 
of  hot  water ;  soak  the  foot  and  ankle  therein ;  soak  as  long 
as  you  have  time  between  the  heats,  and  just  before  start- 
ing put  on  the  coronet  a  little  Oster-Cocus ;  repeat  after  each 
heat,  reduced  about  half.     See  chart,  fig.  42-67. 

Slipping  Stifle. — A  hobble  or  strap  should  be  placed 
around  the  pastern  of  the  affected  limb,  and  a  rope  six  feet 
long  attached  to  it.  This  should  be  brought  forward  be- 
tween the  fore  legs  and  secured  to  a  collar  placed  on  the 
neck  of  the  horse,  the  hind  foot  pulled  well  forward,  and 
with  the  rope  and  collar  retained  in  that  position.  Then 
clip  the  hair  and  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent  Remedy  all 
around  the  stifle  and  keep  the  horse  secured  in  this  way 
for  two  weeks,  night  and  day.  Give  attention  to  feed ;  soft 
food  and  frequent  bran  mashes,  adding  Horse  Renovator 
twice  daily.     A  sling  of  course  is  required.     Chart,  fig.  126. 

Cording,  Cramp. — ^Very  common  to  track  horses.  Wet  a 
blanket  in  hot  Liniment  Powder,  bind  it  over  the  loins  to 
steam,  rub  dry  and  apply  lightly  Oster-Cocus ;  give  30  drops 
Daniels'  No.  1  Colic  Drops  morning  and  night.  When  affect- 
ing the  legs,  bathe,  swathe  and  bandage  in  the  Liniment  Pow- 
der, rub  on  Oster-Cocus  freely ;  reduce  the  strength  about  one 
half.  In  all  treatment  for  lameness  use  Horse  Renovator 
in  the  feed  to  give  strength  and  courage,  and  to  tone  up  the 
system  and  make  new  blood. 

Capped  Hock. — Make  hot  applications  of  Liniment  Pow- 
der and  bandage  during  the  day  until  inflammation  is  re- 
moved ;  Daniels'  Absorbent  should  now  be  applied,  repeating 
two  or  three  times  at  intervals  of  two  weeks.  Dr.  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator  in  feed  for  tonic.  Wonder  Worker  Lotion 
applied  at  time  of  injury  is  all  that  would  be  required.  See 
colored  chart,  fig.  82.  Fig.  77  on  the  chart  shows  a  good 
clean  hock. 

When  in  doubt  as  to  treatment  write  to  Dr.  A.  C.  Dan- 
iels for  advice.

STRAINS.  SPRAINS,  STIFF  JOINTS  AND  SWELLED  LEGS. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  "Oster  Cocus,"  the  Golden  Liniment,  for  Bone,  Nerve 
and  Muscle  Lameness,  Strains,  Sprains,  Stiff  Joints,  Shoe  Boils,  Sweeny 
and  Atrophy  of  the  Muscles,  Stocked  and  Swelled  Legs,  Sore  Throat, 
Sore  Cords  and  Muscles,  Goitre,  Rheumatism,  Neuralgia,  Spavin,  Curb, 
Splint,  Wind  Puffs,  Weak  Back,  etc. 

As  A  Stable  Liniment,  for  removing  Shoe  Boils,  Wind 
Puffs,  Splints,  Spavins,  Curb,  Ring-bone,  Sweeny,  Goitre, 
Atrophy  of  Muscles,  Navicular  Disease,  etc.,  it  has  no  equal 
and  there  is  nothing  like  it  for  Sprains  and  Strains,  in  man 
or  beast. 

Remember  if  you  want  a  Colic  Cure  or  Cough  Drops,  or 
medicines  for  internal  use,  Dr.  Daniels  makes  them,  but  Dr. 
Daniels  knows,  as  you  know,  that  external  and  internal  med- 
icines should  not  be  the  same.  Many  of  these  all-round 
internal  and  external  so-called  liniments  are  actually  poison- 
ous, and  very  often  leave  traces  and  ills  which  years  of 
treatment  cannot  remove.  Many  things  in  drugs  can  be 
used  on  the  outside  which  ought  not  be  used  inside,  whether 
for  horse  or  man.  Do  not  give  your  horse  any  medicine 
which  you  would  be  afraid  to  take  yourself.  Remember  these 
facts.  Prompt  treatment  gets  you  the  best  results.  When- 
ever reasonable  and  mild  treatment  will  do  the  work,  it  is 
safer,  cheaper,  less  torturous  to  the  animal. 

Use  extreme  measures  only  as  a  last  resort  To  cure  with 
Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  follow  instructions  and  re- 
member the  warrant.    Money  back  if  not  satisfied. 

For  Strains  and  Sprains. — Dr.  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus 
Liniment  is  wonderful  in  its  action  and  truty  may  be  said 
"worth  its  weight  in  gold,"  "good  as  gold,"  "the  color  of 
gold,"  "the  Golden  Liniment." 

Treatment. — First  remove  the  extreme  inflammation  with 
hot  applications,  then  rub  on  the  Liniment,  repeating  from 
time  to  time  until  relieved.     In  some  of  these  troubles  the

Liniment  maybe  too  strong,  if  so,  reduce  with  alcohol,  warm 
water  or  kerosene.     Some  horses  have  quite  tender  skin. 

Stiff  Joints. — Steam  and  bandage  with  hot  applications, 
rubbing  well  and  repeating  until  muscles  are  stimulated  and 
strengthened,  after  which  apply  Oster-Cocus,  repeating  un- 
til relieved.  Do  not  rub  it  in  too  hard.  Reduce  the  Lin- 
iment if  too  strong. 

Shoe  Boils. — Capped  elbow.  If  of  recent  origin,  hot  ap- 
plications to  soften  the  swelling  and  reduce  inflammation, 
after  which  apply  Daniels'  Liniment,  Oster-Cocus,  freely,  full 
strength.  As  long  as  swelling  remains  put  on  the  Liniment. 
If  pus  is  formed  it  must  be  opened  and  washed  with  solution 
of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus,  then  apply  the  liniment.  Feed 
Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  with  bran  mashes  for  blood  and 
condition.  Physic  Ball  as  a  laxative  if  constipated.  Don't 
expect  one  bottle  will  cure  every  case.  Sometimes  one  has 
to  resort  to  poulticing  or  blistering  when  the  swellings  nave 
been  too  long  neglected.     See  chart,  fig.  31-51. 

Sweeny  of  Shoulder. — Steam  with  hot  water  for  inflam- 
mation, freely.  Apply  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  two  or  three 
times  daily.  Often  requires  a  Blister.  Oster-Cocus  freely 
used  will  produce  just  the  right  kind  of  blister  required. 
Grease  the  leg  well  below  the  shoulder  to  prevent  the  Lin- 
iment working  where  it  is  not  required.  Exercise  and  good 
feed,  with  a  dose  of  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator,  morning  and 
night,  for  a  few  weeks ;  in  obstinate  cases  use  Absorbent. 
Sweeny  of  Shoulder  is  more  often  caused  by  injury  below 
than  at  the  shoulder.     See  chart,  fig.  51. 

Atrophy. — Wasting  of  any  muscles,  like  Sweeny,  etc. 
Give  muscle-building  food,  with  treatment  same  as  for 
Sweeny  of  Shoulder.     Daniels'   Absorbent  is  advised. 

Bone  Spavin. — Some  cases  can  be  cured.  Those  low 
down  and  recent  are  usually  curable ;  those  high  up  in- 
volving true  hinge  are  incurable.      Sec  chart,  fig.  96-97-98. 

TreaUnent. — At  least  two  or  three  months'  rest,  good  feed 
and  Horse  Renovator  for  digestion,  blood  and  tonic.  Hot 
applications  two  or  three  times  daily,  to  relieve  soreness  and 
to  soften  the  swelling.  Then  apply  Oster-Cocus  twice  daily, 
full  strength.  In  obstinate  cases  use  Daniels'  Absorbent. 
Grease  the  leg  below  to  avoid  blistering  where  it  is  not  re- 
quired.    Repeat  blister  at  two-week  intervals.     After  blis-

tering,  clean,  bandage  and  heal  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion. 
Rest  is  important. 

Bog  or  Blood  Spavin. — Found  just  a  little  in  front  of 
the  hock,  a  round,  smooth  swelling  showing  a  full  vein  run- 
ning up  and  down  its  surface.     See  illustrated  chart,  fig.  76. 

Treatment. — First  of  all  complete  rest.  Hot  applications 
to  remove  inflammation.  Apply  Oster-Cocus  two  or  three 
times  daily.  Repeat  daily  for  ten  days  or  two  weeks.  In 
neglected  ases  apply  Daniels'  Absorbent ;  in  two  weeks  re- 
peat. Bandage  and  heal  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Good 
feed,  with  Horse  Renovator  for  condition  and  blood. 

Occult  Spavin. — Dithcult  to  determine,  but  often  the 
cause  of  unknown  lameness;  rest  is  imperative.  Good  feed 
and  proper  tonic  is  also  necessary.  Hot  applications  to 
remove  inflammation.  Rub  on  Oster-Cocus  twice  daily  for  a 
few  da3^s,  and  continue  treatment  same  as  for  bog  spavin. 

Bony  Enlargements. — Likely  to  occur  from  external  in- 
juries on  any  bone  in  the  body. 

Treatment. — Remove  the  inflammation,  and  in  new  or  mild 
cases  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Bone,  Nerve  and  Muscle  Liniment, 
Oster-Cocus,  but  in  long  standing  or  severe  cases,  appty  Dr. 
Daniels'  Absorbent ;  it  will  remove  soreness,  lameness  and 
the  bunch. 

Thoroughpin. —  Is  found  at  the  back  of  the  hock,  in  the 
hollows,  consisting  of  round  soft  swellings.  The  cure  and 
treatment  depend  upon  the  kind  of  lim-b.  If  it  comes  on  a 
*  horse  having  sickle  hock  or  crooked  hind  legs  with  short 
hock,  there  is  but  small  chance  of  a  cure.  With  a  good 
length  hock,  a  fairly  straight  leg,  with  good  size  bones,  we 
have  a  strong  limb  v/hich  warrants  a  treatment  for  complete 
removal.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  79-80. 

Treatment. — Complete  rest.  Hot  applications  for  the  in- 
flammation ;  apply  Oster-Cocus  morning  and  night.  Repeat 
for  two  weeks,  daily  ;  if  firmly  fixed,  or  of  long  standing,  they 
require  sharp  blisters.  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Absorbent  works 
nicely  for  this  purpose.  Apply  it  and  at  the  end  of  a  week 
or  ten  days  wash  with  Carbo-Negus,  clean,  and  repeat  the 
blister  two  or  three  times.  Bandage  and  heal  with  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  The  swelling  will  be  re- 
duced in  size,  if  not  entirely  removed. 

Splints. — Near  the  knee  joint,  become  aggravated  when 


Home  Treatment  FOR  Horses    and    Cattle 


90       Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

the  animal  is  put  to  work.  Sometimes  they  are  the  cause  of 
frequent  lameness,  though  not  in  every  instance,  but  it  is  a 
lameness  peculiar  to  itself,  not  continuous,  intermittent  in 
character.  More  noticeable  when  the  animal  is  w^arm  and 
moving  rapidly,  especially  down  hill.    See  chart,  fig.  93. 

Treatment. — Should  be  mild.  Remove  the  inflammation 
by  hot  applications,  followed  by  cold  water  bandages  at 
night,  applying  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  once  or  twice  during 
the  day,  repeating  until  relieved. 

Wind  Puffs. —  When  you  want  the  best  results, 
steam  with  hot  Liniment  Powder  and  bandage  during 
the  night  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion,  using  a  small  pad 
little  larger  than  the  swelling,  of  cork  or  similar  material; 
bind  it  over  the  swelling  firmly,  but  not  tight  enough  to 
stop  circulation.  During  the  day  remove  the  bandages  and 
apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Liniment  Oster-Cocus;  repeat  until  the 
bunches  go  down.  Unless  put  to  the  same  strain  which 
caused  them  first,  and  if  rest  enough  be  given,  they  are  not 
likely  to  appear  again.  Reduce  the  Oster-Cocus  if  it  is  too 
strong.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  60-78-93. 

Sore  Muscles. — Apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Golden  Liniment, 
Oster-Cocus,  with  a  light  hand  rubbing  two  or  three  times 
daily  until  relieved.  Reduce  it  if  too  strong  with  alcohol, 
warm  water,  or  kerosene. 

Stocking,  Swelled  Leg. — Sequel  of  some  special  dis- 
ease, or  from  strain  or  general  debility,  Vv^ashing  and  leaving 
wet,  exposure,  neglect,  standing  in  narrow  stall  and  with- 
out exercise,  bandaging  too  tightly,  chafing  or  other  injury. 
When  from  no  apparent  cause,  simply  standing  without  ex- 
ercise, it  is  a  good  plan  to  give  a  physic.  One  of  Dr.  A.  C. 
Daniels'  Physic  Balls  is  handy  to  give  and  satisfactory  in 
results.  Change  the  feed,  don't  give  corn  or  meal ;  give  roots, 
bran  mashes  and  laxative  foods,  adding  twice  daily  a  dose 
of  Horse  Renovator;  rub  on  lightly  a  little  of  Dr.  Daniels' 
Nerve  and  Muscle  Liniment,  Oster-Cocus,  twice  daily,  re- 
ducing when  found  too  strong. 

Sore  Cords. — Make  hot  applications,  if  inflammation  ex- 
ists, alternating  with  cold  water  for  a  few  minutes  at  a  time, 
then  apply  Oster-Cocus  Liniment ;  don't  rub  too  hard  ;  it  pen- 
etrates and  does  its  own  work.  Reduce  if  too  strong  with 
alcohol,  warm  w^ater  or  kerosene. 

Home  Treatment    for    Horses    and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.      91 

Sore  Shins. — At  first  it  may  be  hard  to  account  for  the 
lameness ;  at  other  times  the  animal  limps  much  like  action 
in  Splint ;  pressure  shows  pain,  parts  are  hot  and  inflamed, 
swelling  and  in  time  forming  enlargements. 

Treatment. — Hot  fomentations,  alternating  with  cold  wa- 
ter, change  feed,  laxative  treatment,  bran  mashes,  roots,  light 
feed  of  oats  and  good  hay,  adding  a  dose  of  Daniels'  Hcrse 
Renovator  once  or  tvrice  a  day  to  the  feed,  and  apply  Dan- 
iels* Oster-Cocus  during  the  day;  at  night  bandage  with 
cold  water,  or  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.     See  chart,  fig.  102. 

Sore  Throat,  Colds,  etc. — In  all  cases  rub  the  throat 
well  with  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment ;  it  will  give  quick 
relief.  Lumps  or  swelling  in  the  throat  can  be  reduced  by 
steaming  with  Liniment  Pow^der  as  hot  as  can  be  borne,  to 
soften  the  sw^ellings,  and  then  rubbing  with  Oster-Cocus  Lin- 
iment. Repeat  until  relieved.  Horse  Renovator  in  feed  for 
tonic;  and  bandage  for  swellings.    Colored  chart,  fig.  12. 

Goitre,  Bronchocele. — An  enlargement  of  the  thyroid 
gland,  forming  a  kind  of  tumor  on  one  or  both  sides  of  the 
neck.  Feed  for  general  health  and  condition.  Apply  Oster- 
Cocus  freely  just  to  the  swelling  for  a  few  days,  or  Daniels' 
Absorbent  can  be  used  with  good  results. 

Rheumatism. — Bathe  and  bandage  with  Daniels'  Lini- 
ment, Oster-Cocus,  freely,  but  don't  rub  it  too  hard,  as  3'ou 
may  blister  some  horses  too  soon ;  if,  however,  you  reduce 
it  with  alcohol  you  can  use  it  more  freely  and  get  the  best 
results.  Good  food,  roots  and  bran  mashes,  with  Renovator, 
will  soon  put  in  condition. 

Neuralgia. — Make  hot  applications  or  steam  well  the 
affected  parts,  after  which  rub  in  Daniels'  Bone  and  Muscle 
Liniment,  Oster-Cocus,  repeating  until  relieved.  Generous 
and  laxative  feed,  adding  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  for 
blood  and  system.  The  more  you  steam  and  heat  in  this 
trouble  the  sooner  relief  will  follow.  Liniment  Powder  in 
solution  is  a  wonder  for  steaming ;  in  the  treatment  of  Neu- 
ralgia and  Rheumatism  use  a  tablespoonful  to  a  quart  of 
hot  water,  and  you  will  be  amply  rewarded. 

Hip  Lameness. — Seldom  shows  external  swelling.  By 
standing  immediately  behind  him,  while  he  stands  square 
on  his  hind  legs,  comparing  the  two  hips  together,  the  en- 
largement may  be  detected.     In  stepping,  the  lame  leg  is 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattls 


92       Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

not  brought  as  far  forward  as  the  other;  **he  steps  short" 
and  drops  on  that  quarter.  Sometimes  the  tendons  of  the 
glutaeus  maximus  are  the  seat  of  lameness.  If  so,  we  will 
find  heat,  swelling,  and  tenderness  to  pressure.  When  in 
stable  he  will  stand  square ;  when  moving,  he  drags  along 
the  lame  side. 

Treatment. — Remove  the  inflammation  by  hot  applica- 
tions or  fomentations.  Daniels'  Liniment  Powder  is  excel- 
lent for  this  work.  When  you  have  done  this,  apply  Dr. 
Daniels'  Absorbent  Remed}^  repeating  two  or  three  times  at 
intervals  of  two  weeks.     Rest  is  important. 

Weak  Back. — Give  strength-giving  food,  oats,  timothy 
hay,  bran  mashes  with  Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator,  one 
or  two  doses  daily  in  the  feed.  Apply  freely  to  loins  and 
small  of  the  back  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment. 

Hot  Fomentations  to  the  Leg. — Beginning  at  a  point 
below  the  injury,  wind  woolen  bandages  around  and  above 
the  swelling,  leaving  them  quite  loose  at  the  top,  to  act  as 
a  funnel ;  pour  into  them  the  hot  Liniment  Powder  solution ; 
to  steam,  cover  with  dry  bandage.  It  is  a  good  plan  to  use 
cold  fomentation  immediately  after  hot,  alternating  from 
hot  to  cold,  in  many  cases.  It  is  better  to  take  off  bandages 
in  the  morning,  and  rub  on  a  little  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  for 
strains,  sprains  or  swellings,  or  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  for 
sores,  cuts  and  wounds. 

Poultices. — Of  the  greatest  value  in  some  cases,  in  fact 
indispensable.  A  first-class  poultice  is  made  by  pouring 
boiling  water  into  bran.  All  the  better  if  one-fourth  as 
much  linseed  meal  has  been  put  into  the  bran.  Pour  the 
water  on  slowly,  stirring  the  bran,  and  let  it  stand  and  cook 
a  few  minutes,  and  put  it  on  as  hot  as  can  be  borne.  Always 
make  enough.  Use  for  ordinary  poultice  six  or  eight  quarts 
of  bran  and  two  quarts  of  linseed.  Get  it  just  thick  enough 
to  spread  nicely  without  any  lumps.  If  used  before  it  is  well 
cooked  it  is  liable  to  grow  dry  and  become  useless.  Boiled 
turnips  can  be  substituted  for  linseed  if  more  convenient. 
Always  use  a  sufficient  quantity  of  poultice,  and  have  it  soft 
and  moist.  Add  to  the  poultice  a  few  drops  of  Carbo-Negus 
mixed  with  hot  water.  This  keeps  the  poultice  sweet  lon- 
ger and  acts  as  a  disinfectant,  destroying  germ  life.  Write 
to  Dr.  Daniels  for  assistance  whenever  required.

HORSE  PHYSIC. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels*  Horse  Physic  Ball  and  its  use  in  the  treatment  of  Colic, 
Staggers,  Congestion  of  the  Brain,  Worms,  Indigestion,  Hide  Bound, 
Dropsy,  Founder,  Lymphangitis,  Spinal  Meningitis,  etc. 

Physic  at  times  is  as  necessary  for  your  horse  as  food  or 
stable.  This  is  a  well-known  fact,  but  it  is  a  treatment  sad- 
ly neglected,  not  because  you  were  ignorant  of  the  benefits 
to  be  derived,  but  the  trouble  required,  and  the  uncertain 
results  to  follow,  hardly  seem  to  warrant  the  effort.  It  has 
always  been  a  difficult  medicine  to  administer.  Either  a  cop- 
ious drench,  distributed  almost  anywhere  except  the  desired 
spot,  or  a  hard,  dangerous  mass  in  the  form  of  a  so-called 
"Ball,"  liable  to  choke  the  horse,  and  not  liable  to  give 
satisfactory  results,  even  if  successfully  given ;  these  have 
deterred  you  from  giving  physic  often  when  you  knew  it 
would  be  of  benefit  to  the  horse. 

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Physic  Ball  does  away  with  all  this 
uncertainty,  danger  and  trouble.  Like  all  of  his  remedies, 
simplicity  and  common  sense  makes  it  easy  for  any  one  to 
give  this  truly  desirable  remedy  to  the  horse,  without  any 
danger  to  the  animal  or  discomfiture  to  the  person.  It  is 
the  kind  to  use  because  it  keeps  good  in  any  climate,  any 
length  of  time ;  is  sure,  safe,  reliable,  easy  to  administer,  al- 
ways works,  and  always  pleases  you  in  results.  Dr.  Daniels' 
Physic  Ball  is  always  to  be  given  when  symptoms  indicate 
CoHc  Staggers,  Congestion  of  the  Brain,  Worms,  Indiges- 
tion, Hidebound,  Dropsy,  Founder,  Lymphangitis,  Spinal 
Meningitis,  etc. 

Never  give  physic  second  time  within  ten  days.  Never 
give  cold  water  during  or  immediately  after  administering 
a  Physic  Ball ;  take  off  the  chill.  Do  not  work  the  horse  or 
expose  to  draughts,  wet  weather  or  cold  during  the  opera- 
tion of  a  physic  or  even  the  day  after.  In  some  cases  like 
Meningitis,  etc.,  where  quick  action  is  required,  a  Physic

94      Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

Ball  has  to  be  given  at  first  symptoms  discovered;  but 
generally  it  is  best  to  prepare  a  horse  for  a  physic.  You 
then  secure  the  best  results  in  the  quickest  and  safest 
manner.  For  twenty-four  hours  before  giving  physic,  feed 
warm  bran  mashes,  alwa^^s  adding  a  dose  of  Dr.  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator  to  eaoh  mash,  no  grain  or  ha}^.  After 
giving  Physic  Ball  the  feed  should  be  light ;  mashes  with 
Horse  Renovator  until  operation,  are  best.  After  opera- 
tion, feed  long  ha^^  for  first  day,  no  grain.  Then  resume 
with  the  regular  feed,  but  add  one  of  Daniels'  Renovator 
Powders,  morning  and  night,  for  a  week.  This  treatment 
carefully  administered  will  cleanse  the  system  and  ensure  a 
speedy  return  to  strength  and  spirits.  Should  the  purging 
be  too  profuse,  give  a  little  flour  with  arrow-root.  An 
injection  of  warm  water  and  soap  is  useful  in  dissolving 
any  obstructions,  and  a  gentle  exercise  of  twenty  minutes, 
twelve  to  twenty-four  hours  after  giving  the  ph3^sic,  often 
assists  moving  of  the  bowels. 

How  TO  give  Physic  Balls. — Alwa3^s  untie  the  horse  be- 
fore attempting  to  give  a  ball ;  open  the  mouth,  grasp  the 
tongue  firmly  with  the  left  hand,  gently  pull  forward  on 
the  off-side  of  the  mouth  and  there  fixed,  not  by  continuing 
to  pull  at  it,  but  by  pressing  the  fingers  against  the  side 
of  the  lower  jaw.  The  Ball  should  be  cut  or  sliced  with  a 
knife  on  each  of  its  four  sides,  taken  between  the  tips  of  the 
fingers  of  the  right  hand,  slightly  moistened  with  warm  water- 
it  is  passed  rapidly  up  the  mouth,  as  near  to  the  palate  as 
possible,  until  it  reaches  the  root  of  the  tongue.  It  is  there 
delivered  with  a  slight  jerk  or  toss,  the  hand  being  immed- 
iately withdraw^n,  and  the  tongue  let  go,  which,  w^hen  drawn 
back,  carries  the  Ball  with  it.  Its  passage  should  be  watched 
down  the  left  side  of  the  throat  and  if  it  is  not  seen  going 
down,  a  few  gulps  of  warm  water,  which  have  handy,  will 
usually  convey  it  to  the  stomach.  Daniels'  Physic  Balls 
are  always  safe  and  satisfactory.  Requires  about  24  hours 
for  physic  to  operate.  Do  not  look  for  or  expect  a  copious, 
watery  discharge  in  operation ;  such  is  not  intended  or  to  be 
desired.  Many  other  things  are  suggested  for  physic,  but

CHAPTER  XIV. 

DISEASES  OF  THE  EYE. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Eye  Wash  and  its  use  in  the  treatment  of  Diseases  of 
the  Eye,  Drooping,  Thickening  and  Inflammation  of  the  Eyelids,  Warts, 
Tumors  and  "Watery  Eyes,  Ophthalmia,  W^hite  Specks  on  the  Eye,  Moon 
Blindness,  Cataracts,  Parasites,  Palsy  of  the  Nerve  of  Sight,  Inflamma- 
tion of  the  Eye,  etc. 

Diseases  of  the  Eye  can  hardly  be  over-estimated  as  re- 
lated to  the  comfort  and  value  of  the  horse.  A  blind  horse  is 
dangerous,  impaired  vision  is  quite  as  bad,  v/hile  from  a  point 
of  beauty  a  sound  eye  adds  much  to  the  animal's  value. 

A  full  description  of  the  eye  is  not  possible  in  these  few 
pages;  a  few  lines,  however,  relating  thereto,  may  be  con- 
sidered essential.     See  colored  chart,  fig.  89. 

The  horse's  eye  is  spheroidal,  flattened  in  the  rear,  quite 
four-fifths  of  its  posterior  enclosed  by  an  opaque  fibrous 
membrane,  the  interior  of  which  consists  of  a  more  delicate 
membrane,  composed  in  the  main  of  blood  vessels  and  cells, 
which,  in  turn,  is  lined  by  the  still  more  delicate,  sensitive 
nerves  of  sight ;  the  outside  fifth  of  the  eye  bulges  forward, 
its  walls  having,  when  in  health,  a  perfectly  translucent  ap- 
pearance or  coat. 

The  interior  of  the  e3^e  has  three  translucent  media  for 
the  refraction  of  rays  of  Hght ;  the  anterior  one  is  liquid, 
the  posteria  is  semi-solid  and  the  other,  or  intermediate, 
is  solid.  The  iris,  or  curtain,  besides  its  blood  vessels  and 
pigment,  has  two  sets  of  muscular  fibres,  one  set  radiating 
from  the  margin  of  the  pupil  to  the  outer  border  of  the 
curtain  at  its  connection  with  the  sclerotic  and  choroid, 
while  the  second  encircles  the  pupil  like  a  ring.  The  form 
of  the  pupil  is  ovoid,  the  longest  diameter  running  from 
side  to  side,  the  upper  border  being  fringed  with  several 
small  black  bodies  slightly  projecting  forward  and  in  a 
way  serving  as  eyebrows.  These  formations  are  often  mis- 
taken for  disease  and  injury.     Of  course  they  may  become

96      Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

diseased,  but  while  they  and  the  iris  retain  a  clear,  dark 
appearance,  free  from  yellow  or  brown  tints,  they  are  said 
to  be  healthy. 

A  point  peculiar  to  the  appearance  of  the  horse's  eye 
is  that  in  darkness  a  bright  bluish  tinge  is  reflected  from 
the  widely  dilated  pupil. 

The  eye  has  seven  distinct  muscles.  Four  straight  mus- 
cles pass  from  the  depth  of  the  orbit  forward  on  the  upper, 
lower,  inner  and  outer  sides  of  the  eyeball;  these  serve  to 
turn  the  eyes  up,  down,  or  to  the  right  or  left ;  if  all  used 
together  their  tendency  is  to  draw  the  eyeball  into  its  socket. 
The  retractor  muscle  is  divided  into  four  slips,  repeating  the 
motions  as  before  indicated  but  on  a  smaller  scale,  while 
the  two  other  muscles  turn  the  eye  upon  its  axis,  the  upper 
one  turning  its  outer  surface  upward  or  inward,  the  lower 
one  turning  the  reverse. 

The  haw  is  of  great  assistance  in  removing  foreign  objects 
from  the  eye  of  the  horse.  In  the  ordinary  healthy  state  of 
the  eye,  this  cartilage  appears  as  a  thin  fold  of  membrane. 
At  the  inner  angle  of  the  eye,  in  inflammation  of  the  eye, 
this  cartilage  is  pushed  forward  to  such  an  extent  that  ig- 
norant persons  have  cut  off  this  useful  and  important  ap- 
pendage, resulting  in  permanent  injury  to  the  eye.  Just 
iDccause  you  think  the  haw  is  swollen  and  projected  over  a 
part  or  even  the  whole  of  the  eyeball,  it  is  no  sign  of  dis- 
ease, though  it  may  be  evidence  of  pain  and  trouble  to  some 
other  part  of  the  eye,  but  don't  cut  it  off. 

To  examine  the  eye,  to  a  certain  extent,  the  mucous 
membrane  lining  the  eyelids  ma}^  be  exposed  by  parting  the 
lids  with  the  thumb  and  finger  pressed  lightly  upon  the 
upper  and  lower  lids  respectively.  If  too  much  pressure, 
it  will  throw  the  haw  over  a  portion  of  the  lowxr  part  of 
the  eye,  but  care  will  enable  you  to  overcome  this.  You 
can  further  look  into  the  eye  by  turning  the  upper  lid  over 
the  finger  tip  or  a  flat  probe  or  similar  object  placed  fiat 
against  the  middle  of  the  lid.  Don't  try  to  examine  out  of 
doors  or  in  sunshine.  Have  the  light  cut  off  from  above ; 
get  all  the  light  from  the  front  and  side  ,  stand  in  front  where 
you  can  get  the  best  observation,  or  put  the  horse  in  a  dark 
room  and  look  at  the  eye  by  artificial  light. 

Congenital  disorders  of  the  lids,  such  as  division  of  the

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     97 

eyelids  in  two,  similar  to  harelip,  abnormally  small  open- 
ings between  the  lids,  closing  of  the  lids  by  adhesion;  in 
these  cases  a  surgeon  is  desirable  when  possible  to  obtain. 

Drooping  Eyelids. — Sometimes  only  a  symptom  of  par- 
alysis of  one-half  of  the  face.  If  so,  the  nostrils,  lips  and 
ears,  perhaps  one-half  of  the  tongue  may  be  affected ;  the 
food  will  be  taken  entirely  by  the  teeth  as  the  lips  have  lost 
their  use.  This  form  of  paralysis  is  often  the  result  of  in- 
jury, a  blow  to  the  nerve  which  passes  over  the  back  of  the 
lower  jaw.  In  some  cases  the  paralysis  is  confined  to  the 
lid,  caused  by  an  injury  to  the  muscles  which  raise  it.  Some- 
times this  condition  is  caused  by  spasms  to  the  muscles 
which  close  the  lid,  or  to  inflammation  of  the  upper  lid. 

Treatment. — If  due  to  the  blow,  remove  the  inflammation 
by  a  sponge  wet  in  warm  water,  kept  in  place  beneath  the 
ear  and  held  in  place  with  a  bandage.  When  all  inflam- 
mation has  been  removed  apply  Absorbent  to  the  same  place 
beneath  the  ear,  or  applications  of  Oster-Cocus  Liniment 
rubbed  well  into  the  skin  to  stimulate  the  surface  in  the  im- 
mediate vicinity.    Months  may  be  required  to  effect  a  cure. 

Paralysis. — From  blows  above  the  eye  the  same  treat- 
ment may  be  used  to  that  part. 

Thickening  of  the  Lid. — May  be  treated  by  painting 
the  same  with  tincture  of  iodine. 

Inflammation  of  the  Eyelids. — Often  caused  by  ex- 
posure to  draughts  of  cold  air,  rain  or  snowstorms,  bites  of 
insects,  flies  or  snakes,  pricks  of  thorns,  blows  from  whip  or 
club,  accidental  bruises  by  bits  of  dust,  chaff,  sand,  grass 
seeds,  etc.,  or  by  the  fumes  of  chemicals,  ammonia  from 
manure,  smoke,  etc.,  or  by  infection.  Keep  the  stable  clean. 
Inflammation  from  whatever  cause  should  have  prompt  at- 
tention. 

Treatment, — Remove  the  cause ;  wet  a  soft  cloth  with  sol- 
ution of  Daniels'  Eye  Wash,  tablespoonful  to  a  cup  of  warm 
water,  distilled  or  boiled  rain  water  when  possible,  and  place 
over  the  eye,  binding  it  on  when  in  the  stable,  and  tying 
it  to  the  headstall  of  the  bridle  from  the  two  sides  when  on 
the  road,  and  drop  four  drops  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Eye  Wash 
into  the  eye,  with  a  feather  or  dropper,  three  times  daily. 
Give  laxative  foods,  bran  mashes,  carrots,  beets,  potatoes, 
etc.,  cut  up  small,  steam  the  hay,  add  a  dose  of  Daniels' 

Home   Treatment  for  Horses   andCattle 


98       Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


Horse  Renovator  to  the  feed  once  or  twice  a  day  to  regu- 
late the  bowels. 

Stye. — Forms  a  round  swelling  near  the  edges  of  the  lid. 

Treatment. — Poultice  with  Chamomile  Flowers,  adding  a 
few  drops  of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  when  applying ;  put  in  a 
thin  muslin  bag  and  bind  on  the  eye. 

Eyelashes. — Sometimes  turn  so  as  to  irritate  the  eye. 

Treatment. — If  one  or  two  hairs  offend,  cut  them  off  with 
scissors  close  to  the  lid  or  pull  out  by  roots ;  drop  into  the 
eye  a  few  drops  of  the  Eye  Wash  two  or  three  times  a  day 
to  allay  the  inflammation.  If  the  lashes  offending  are  nu- 
merous a  surgeon  should  operate  on  the  lid. 

Warts  and  Tumors. — On  the  eyelids,  if  small,  snip  off 
with  scissors  or  tie  a  stout  thread  around  them  close  up 
to  the  skin  and  they  will  soon  drop  off.  Sometimes  it  is 
well  to  touch  them  with  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  daily,  after 
cutting  them  off. 

Some  forms  of  tumors  require  the  knife  for  removal  and 
this  should  be  done  by  a  competent  surgeon. 

Watering  Eyes. — A  symptom  of  external  inflammation 
of  the  eye.  It  may,  however,  be  caused  by  disease  of  the 
lachrymal  apparatus  interfering  with  the  progress  of  the 
tears  to  the  nose.  In  all  cases  examine  the  orifice  of  the 
lachrymal  duct  on  the  floor  of  the  nasal  chamber  close  to 
the  anterior  outlet ;  this  will  be  sometimes  found  blocked 
by  a  portion  of  matter,  which,  when  removed,  allows  the 
tears  to  escape.  Sponge  out  the  nose  with  warm  water  and 
make  application  of  warm  water  to  the  face.  Feed  warm 
bran  mashes  in  a  nose  bag,  adding  a  dose  of  Horse  Reno- 
vator ;  the  vapor  will  produce  relaxing  effect  to  the  muscles. 
Keep  the  eye  moistened  with  Eye  Wash,  one  teaspoonful 
in  cup  of  water,  and  a  few  drops  several  times  daily  in  the 
eye.     See  chart  for  nose  bag,  fig.  19. 

External  Ophthalmia. — Or  inflammation  of  the  outer 
parts  of  the  eye,  caused  mainly  by  blows  from  whip,  clubs, 
twigs,  etc.,  seeds,  chaff,  dust,  sand,  lime,  wounds,  etc. 
Exposed  to  extreme  dry  air,  smoke,  ammonia  from  stable, 
windows  in  front  of  stall  or  very  dark  stalls,  exposure  to 
cold,  severe  snow  and  rain  storms,  etc. 

Ophthalmia. — Watering  of  the  eye,  swollen  lids,  redness 
of  the  mucous  membranes,  which  may  show  a  pinkish,  bluish 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     99 

color,  or  it  may  be  a  deep,  dark  red  with  a  bluish  opacity 
of  the  cornea,  which  is  usually  clear  and  translucent. 

Treatment. — Remove  the  cause  a^  once,  whatever  that 
may  be.  Bathe  the  eye  with  warm  water  and  Daniels'  Eye 
Wash,  one  tablespoonful  of  wash  to  a  cup  of  warm  water. 
Allow  this  solution  to  flow  from  an  inverted  glass  over  the 
eye ;  this  will  cleanse  and  often  remove  the  irritant.  Put  a 
few  drops  of  the  Eye  Wash  into  the  eye  several  times  daily, 
keep  the  eye  and  lids  moistened  by  applying  a  soft  cloth 
wet  with  the  solution  of  Eye  Wash  and  water  as  above. 
Feed  bran  mashes  and  soft  food,  adding  dose  of  Daniels' 
Horse  Renovator  daily  to  food;  sometimes  a  solution  of 
seven  grains  of  nitrate  of  silver  to  quart  of  distilled  water 
may  be  used  as  an  assistant  in  applications  to  eye  and  it  is 
frequently  found  necessary  to  apply  a  small  blister  on  side 
of  face  three  inches  below  eye,  for  one  night,  washing  it  off 
next  morning,  then  following  directions  as  above. 

White  Specks. — Resulting  from  Ophthalmia 'may  be  re- 
moved by  keeping  the  eye  moistened  with  solution  of  warm 
water  and  Daniels'  Eye  Wash,  one  teaspoonful  to  cup  of 
water,  and  touching  the  eye  with  a  soft  feather  dipped  in 
the  Eye  Wash  two  or  three  times  daily,  and  a  solution  of 
three  grains  of  nitrate  of  silver  to  one  ounce  of  distilled  water, 
used  with  a  soft  feather  as  above  indicated,  may  be  of 
assistance ;  old  and  thick  scars  are  not  easily  removed. 

MooNBLiNDNEss. — Or  Recurrent  Ophthalmia,  frequently 
ends  in  blindness;  damp  conditions  or  surroundings  seem 
the  prevailing  cause,  damp  and  marshy  grounds,  over- 
flowed river  bottoms,  sea  and  lake  shores  which  are  sub- 
merged and  exposed  at  intervals,  etc.  Heredity  is  a  potent 
cause ;  many  other  reasons  are  obviously  responsible  for 
this  trouble,  the  symptoms  of  which  are  marked  by  fever, 
lack  of  vigor  and  life  or  energy.  A  characteristic  of  the 
disease  is  its  recurrence  time  after  time  in  the  same  eye 
until  blindness  results.  The  attacks  may  follow  at  intervals 
of  a  month  or  a  week  or  two.  Prevention  is  the  main  con- 
sideration, which  demands  careful  breeding,  housing,  feed- 
ing and  general  management.  The  treatment  cannot  be 
considered  satisfactory  but  is  much  the  same  as  in  Ophthal- 
mia. Don't  knock  out  the  wolf  teeth  or  cut  off  the  haw. 
These  customs  are  barbarous  and  useless.

Cataract. — Don't  try  to  cure,  it  is  quite  impossible.  Sur- 
gical operations  are  sometimes  performed  but  usually  with 
little  success. 

Parasites. — Often  afEict  the  eye  ;  one,  sometimes  a  small 
white  worm,  inhabits  the  lachrymal  duct,  the  under  side  of 
eyelids  and  the  haw.  Remove  them  as  soon  as  discovered 
with  forceps,  and  treat  as  for  inflammation,  keeping  the  eye 
moist  and  using  Daniels'  Eye  Wash,  a  few  drops,  several 
times  daily  in  the  eye.  There  is  a  second  silver- white  ap- 
pearing worm,  sometimes  two  inches  long,  which  imbeds 
itself  in  the  aqueous  humor.  It  is  often  found  in  other  in- 
ternal cavities  of  the  horse,  but  when  in  the  eye  a  surgeon 
should  remove,  as  it  is  a  delicate  operation. 

Palsy  of  the  Nerve  of  Sight. — Results  from  tumors  or 
some  disease  of  the  brain  or  optic  nerves,  injury,  pressure 
from  dropsical,  inflammatory  conditions,  gestation,  etc. 

Treatment. — Of  use  only  when  the  disease  arises  from  some 
removable  cause,  like  brain,  stomach  or  womb  troubles; 
when  recovery  fails  to  accompany  the  termination  of  any  of 
these  conditions,  blister  just  behind  the  ear ;  give  four  to  six 
30-drop  doses  of  Daniels'  No.  1  Colic  Drops  at  intervals  of 
ten  minutes ;  bathe  the  eye  and  keep  moist  with  solution 
of  Daniels'  Animal  Eye  Wash. 

Inflammation  of  the  Eye. — In  general  and  under  all 
circumstances  can  be  greatly  relieved  and  most  all  cases 
cured  by  keeping  the  eyelids  moistened  with  a  solution  of 
Dr.  Daniels'  Eye  Wash  and  warm  water,  one  teaspoonful 
of  the  Eye  Wash  to  cup  of  water,  and  frequently  dropping 
a  few  drops  of  the  Wash  into  the  eye  several  times  daily. 
This  can  be  done  with  a  soft  feather  or  ordinary  medicine 
dropper. 

Remember  in  treating  diseases  of  the  eye,  the  same  nat- 
ural conditions  exist  which  we  find  in  nearly  all  other  dis- 
eases ;  the  system  is  down  and  "condition"  must  be  restored 
before  the  disease  we  notice  can  be  cured. 

In  applying  bandages  when  treating  the  eyes,  see  illus- 
trated chart,  fig.  90-91. 

Whenever  uncertain  as  to  treatment,  feed,  etc.,  of  your 
stock,  write  to  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels.  A  prompt  reply  will  be 
given  your  inquiries.  Do  not  have  the  horse  face  a  strong 
light  in  the  stable,  and  avoid  many  eye  troubles.

CHAPTER  XV. 

INJURIES  AND  DISEASES  OF  THE  HEAD  AND  MOUTH. 

Injuries  to  the  Head  and  Mouth,  and  their  Treatment, — Cuts,  Lacerated 
Wounds,  Lampas,  Vives,  Barbs,  Swellings,  Bleeding  Gums,  Bad  Teeth, 
Tooth  Cough,  Abcess  or  Tumor  on  the  side  of  Face,  Paralysis  of  the  Lip 
and  Tongue,  Big  Head,  Balking,  etc. 

Injuries  and  Diseases  of  the  Head  and  Mouth  for 
which  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines  are  recom- 
mended. First  remember  the  loss  of  any  portion  of  the  lip, 
cheeks  or  tongue  makes  the  horse  worthless ;  therefore,  try 
everything  before  using  the  knife. 

Cuts. — The  parts  should  be  washed  clean  with  solution 
Daniels'  Carbo-Negus,  then  drawn  together  and  secured  by 
bands  or  a  stitch  or  two,  and  efforts  made  to  secure  perfect 
rest,  and  apply  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  to  heal. 
Feed  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  for  tonic  and  strength. 

Lacerated  Wounds. — Not  easily  closed,  but  do  so  when 
possible.  Dress  and  clean  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus 
and  apply  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  freely  to  heal. 
Feed  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  for  blood  and  tonic. 

Lampas. — A  swelling  or  projection  of  the  palate  behind 
the  front  teeth,  often  extending  below  the  teeth  and  the 
horse  is  unable  to  eat,  the  food  dropping  out  when  the 
animal  attempts  to  chew  it. 

Treatment. — Add  a  tablespoonful  of  saltpetre  to  each  pail- 
ful of  water  given  the  horse  to  drink.  If  the  swellings  are 
particularly  troublesome  open  carefully  with  the  point  of 
a  knife,  or  touch  with  a  stick  of  nitrate  of  silver.  Apply 
Wonder  Worker  to  heal.  Feed  bran  mashes,  adding  one  of 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator;  nothing  will  assist  so  much  in 
building  the  horse's  strength  as  Horse  Renovator  once  or 
twice  daily  in  the  feed.    Corn  on  the  cob  is  a  help. 

Vives. — Enlargement  of  the  glands  of  lower  jaw.  Paint 
with  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment,  and  build  up  the  system 
by  proper  feed,  using  one  or  two  doses  of  Renovator  daily 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


102  Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

in  the  feed ;  a  Physic  Ball  will  be  useful  to  open  and  regu- 
late the  bowels. 

Barbs,  Swellings. — Caused  by  obstructions  to  the  sali- 
vary glands.  Apply  a  stick  of  nitrate  of  silver  for  a  moment 
every  day ;  give  soft  foods,  bran  mashes,  adding  a  dose  of 
Horse  Renovator  daily  to  feed ;  give  one  of  Daniels'  Physic 
Balls  for  action  on  the  bowels. 

Bleeding  Gums. — Clean  out  the  teeth  daily  and  wash  the 
gums  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  teaspoonful  to  a  quart 
of  water  twice  a  day  or  apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker 
Lotion  same  as  for  external  injury. 

Bad  Teeth. — Remove  the  offending  members  or  have 
them  leveled  as  the  case  may  be. 

Tooth  Cough. — A  peculiar  cough,  loud  and  prolonged ; 
occurs  in  horses  cutting  the  sixth  molar.  Wash  the  mouth 
with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  teaspoon  to  quart  of  water; 
careful  diet,  roots,  mashes,  good  hay,  grass  when  possible,  a 
pint  of  linseed  oil.     Horse  Renovator  once  or  twice  daily. 

Abscess  orTumors  on  the  Side  of  the  Face. — Caused 
by  foreign  objects,  such  as  thorns,  nails,  etc. ;  these  articles 
should  be  removed.  Bring  to  a  head  with  poultice ;  open, 
wash  or  cleanse  with  Carbo-Negus,  and  apply  Wonder  Work- 
er Lotion  to  heal.  Feed  Horse  Renovator,  morning  and 
night,  for  condition  and  blood  and  kidneys. 

Paralysis  of  the  Lip. — In  recent  cases,  incessant  appli- 
cations of  Liniment  Powder,  in  hot  water,  alternating  with 
cold,  after  which  rub  on  Daniels'  Liniment,  Oster-Cocus, 
externally.  Good  food,  box  stall,  perfect  rest.  Horse  Ren- 
ovator twice  daily  in  the  feed.  Sometimes  Daniels'  Absorb- 
ent will  be  required  and  prove  useful. 

The  Tongue. — Many  horses  are  injured  for  life  by  the 
thoughtless  and  careless  practice  of  running  the  halter  rope 
through  the  mouth,  thus  binding  the  tongue  by  a  tighten- 
ing noose.  Sometimes  hitching  in  this  manner,  if  the  horse 
hangs  back,  the  tongue  or  the  jaw  suffers,  causing  bruises, 
strangulation  and  inflammation  and  gangrene;  losing  one- 
half  by  sloughing  causes  a  state  of  paralysis  to  tongue  or 
lips.  Some  well-intentioned  men  cut,  tear  or  bruise  the 
tongue  and  the  lips  beyond  repair  in  giving  medicine,  the 
tongue  having  been  pulled  entirely  out  in  the  balHng  oper- 
ation.    In  care  of  horses,  avoid  these  things. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     103 

Treatment. — For  Injury  to  Tongue  and  Mouth,  wash  the 
abrasion  or  cut  clean,  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus ;  apply 
Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  freely  to  heal.  When  por- 
tions have  been  separated,  every  effort  must  be  made  to- 
wards saving  the  organ  from  sloughing  by  diligent  treatment, 
local  and  general ;  good  feed ;  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily 
in  warm  bran  mashes,  soft  foods,  cut  roots  and  chopped  hay. 
Wash  the  injury  clean  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  and 
apply  freely  Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  Repeat  treatment  two 
or  three  times  daily,  or  oftener  in  serious  cases. 

Big  Head,  Enlarged  Jaw. — This  is  common  to  horses 
in  the  Southwest  and  some  other  sections  of  the  country. 
It  is  really  incurable  in  itself  and  still  if  taken  at  the  first 
stages,  or  if  preventative  measures  are  used,  it  will  not  occur 
or  will  be  much  palliated. 

Big  Head  and  certain  forms  of  lameness  coexist.  Many 
unexplained  cases  of  lameness  will  be  found  connected  with 
enlarged  jaw,  peculiar  and  sudden  lameness  in  the  vertebral 
region  and  thigh  bone,  breaking  down  of  the  fetlock  from 
no  known  or  visible  cause.  When  large  amounts  of  corn 
are  fed  it  seems  more  likely  to  exist.  Lack  of  phosphates 
and  nitrogen  with  an  excess  of  starchy  foods  seem  to  form 
malnutrition,  producing  disease  through  lack  of  the  proper 
adjusting  of  feed. 

Balking. — In  a  young  horse  is  generally  caused  by  dis- 
couragement, from  being  overloaded  or  exhausted ;  at  this 
time  a  poor  driver  can  easily  make  a  confirmed  balker  by 
temper  and  the  use  of  the  whip.  When  your  horse  balks, 
keep  cool,  don't  get  excited,  don't  whip  or  club  or  twitch 
him  about  by  the  bit ;  patience  and  tact  is  the  only  means 
of  moving  him.  If  not  overloaded  take  a  piece  of  rope  or 
strap  four  or  more  feet  long.  Standing  in  front  of  the  horse, 
pass  the  rope  behind  the  fore  legs  just  at  the  knees ;  gently 
pull  the  rope  forward  against  the  leg.  First  one,  then  the 
other :  he  will  forget  his  trouble,  and  step  first  one  and  then 
the  other  and  soon  be  going.  Many  times  the  horse  finds 
it  impossible  to  move  the  load,  and  knows  it  better  than  his 
brutal  drivers,  and  simply  won't  try. 

Weaving. — No  cure  except  to  tie  short  at  both  sides  in 
stable  or  whenever  left  standing.     It's  simply  a  bad  habit. 

Paralysis  of    the   Pharynx. — Symptoms: — The   horse

cannot  eat,  anxious  countenance,  tries  to  eat  and  drink,  can- 
not do  so.  If  he  manages  to  get  any  food  or  drink  to  the 
back  part  of  his  mouth,  it  will  be  at  once  expelled  through  the 
nose.  Saliva  discharges  freely.  He  will  want  to  drink  by  the 
hour,  but  while  he  keeps  his  head  in  the  pail,  and  seems 
to  drink  with  avidity,  it  will  be  seen  he  has  been  unable 
to  swallow  any  of  the  water. 

Treatment. — Is  not  very  satisfactory  or  certain  of  success. 
Apply  Dr.  Daniels'  Absorbent  Remedy  behind  and  under  the 
jaw,  wash  or  swab  the  mouth  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus. 
Dr.  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  twice  daily  with  molasses 
spread  on  the  tongue.  This  disease  is  often  taken  for  Cerebro- 
spinal Meningitis. 

Spasm  op  the  Glottis. — Indicated  by  strangling  respir- 
ation, wheezing  noise,  suffers  for  want  of  air,  holds  the  head 
extended,  perspires  freely,  rapid  pulse,  exhaustion  and  suf- 
focation ;  no  medicine  can  be  expected  to  cure  this  trouble. 

Fits,  Epileptic, — No  previous  symptoms,  the  animal 
suddenly  staggers,  muscles  cramped,  jaws  perhaps  cramped 
spasmodically,  foams  at  the  mouth,  falling  down  in  spasms, 
urine  flows  involuntarily,  perhaps  stops  breathing. 

Treatment. — Dash  cold  water  to  the  head  ;  after  recovery 
give  particular  attention  to  feed.  Preserve  a  laxative  con- 
dition of  bowels,  and  tone  up  the  system ;  twice  daily  give 
Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  in  the  feed. 

Atrophy  of  the  Brain. — Caused  by  faulty  nutrition  and 
improper  feeding. 

Symptoms ; — Generally  gives  rise  to  viciousness,  disorders 
of  special  sensations,  coma,  etc. 

Treatment. — Useless.  Prevention  by  proper  feeding  is 
the  remedy. 

Tumors  of  Brain,  and  within  the  Cranium  are  not  un- 
common but  the  present  age  affords  no  remedy  against  or 
treatment  for. 

Dark  stables  make  blind,  shying  and  stumbling  horses. 

Never  overcheck,  overload  or  overdrive  your  horse.  It 
is  cruel  to  the  horse  and  expensive  for  you. 

Don't  abuse  or  neglect ;  it  costs  money  to  be  negligent  or 
careless. 

Do  not  leave  your  horse  facing  the  wind  w^hen  standing 
on  a  cold  day.

CHAPTER  XVI. 

HOW  TO  TELL  THE  AGE  OF  A  HORSE  BY  THE  TEETH. 

Showing  Colored  Illustrations  and  Giving  a  Full  Description  of  Ascer 
taining  the  Age  of  the  Horse  by  the  Looks  and  Appearance  of  the  Teeth, 
and  Other  Hints  Worth  Remembering. 

It  is  often  important  to  be  able  to  tell  the  age  of  a  horse 
with  reasonable  accuracy,  we  can  do  so  by  the  aid  of  the 
teeth  better  than  by  any  other  way.  We  have  made  an  ef- 
fort to  explain  in  a  simple  manner,  by  description  and  illus- 
tration. At  first  the  jaw  is  small  to  accommodate  the  milk 
teeth ;  the  jaws  soon  become  larger  to  take  in  the  permanent 
ones.  The  front  teeth  or  nippers  are  usually  studied  with 
more  success  to  note  the  changes  in  the  age  of  the  horse,  and 
they  enable  us  to  do  so  very  accurately  up  to  the  age  of 
eight  years,  and  fairly  so  up  to  eighteen.  When  two  weeks 
old  the  central  nippers  are  full  grown ;  in  five  or  six  weeks 
another  incisor  will  appear  on  either  side  of  the  two  first. 
In  two  months  they  will  have  reached  their  natural  size,  and 
between  the  second  and  third  months,  the  second  will  have 
overtaken  the  first.  They  will  then  begin  to  wear  away  a 
little.  Between  the  sixth  and  ninth  month  another  nipper 
begins  to  appear  on  either  side  of  the  two  first,  making  six 
above  and  six  below,  and  completing  the  colt's  mouth,  after 
which  the  only  noticeable  difference  between  the  second  and 
third  years  is  a  wearing  away  of  the  teeth.  The  teeth  are 
covered  with  a  hard  substance  called  enamel.  It  covers  the 
portion  of  the  teeth  which  appears  above  the  gum,  and  as 
time  goes  on  is  gradually  worn  away.  A  portion  of  this  en- 
amel is  caved  inward  or  sunk  into  the  body  of  the  teeth, 
forming  a  small  pit.  The  inside  and  bottom  of  this  pit  be- 
comes blackened  by  food,  and  constitutes  a  mark  by  the 
gradual  disappearance  of  which  the  age  can  be  determined 
with  great  accuracy  up  to  about  eight  years.  At  the  age 
of  a  year  and  a  half  the  mark  in  the  central  nippers  will 
be  shorter  and  fainter,  and  that  in  the  other  nippers  will

106     Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

have  undergone  considerable  change,  and  all  the  nippers 
will  be  flat.  At  two  years  they  will  be  more  plainly  marked. 
The  central  prominent  teeth  are  growing  down,  and  are 
larger  than  the  others.  The  groove  on  the  outer  convex 
surface  is  the  mark,  and  is  long,  narrow,  deep  and  black. 
The  mark  on  the  next  two  nippers  is  more  worn  out,  and  is 
wearing  away  on  the  corner  nippers.  Between  three  and  a 
half  and  four  years  the  central  nippers  have  attained  to 
nearly  their  whole  growth.  The  second  pair  will  have  so 
far  displaced  the  temporary  teeth  as  to  appear  through  the 
gums,  where  the  corner  ones  will  be  transmitted  and  at 
length  worn  down.  At  four  years  the  central  nippers  will 
be  fully  developed,  the  top  edge  somewhat  worn  off  and  the 
mark  shorter,  wider  and  fainter.  The  next  pair  will  be  up, 
but  they  will  be  small,  with  the  mark  deep  and  extended 
quite  across.  At  four  and  a  half  years  or  near  to  five,  the 
corner  nippers  are  shed  and  the  permanent  ones  begin  to 
appear.  The  central  nippers  are  considerably  worn  and  the 
next  pair  are  beginning  to  show  the  mark  of  age.  The  tush 
has  now  protruded,  and  is  fully  half  an  inch  in  height,  and 
has  a  rounded  prominence  with  grooves  on  the  inside.  At 
five  years  the  horse's  mouth  is  almost  perfect.  At  six  years 
the  mark  on  the  two  central  nippers  is  entirely  worn  out,  and 
on  next  pair  the  mark  is  shorter,  broader  and  fainter,  and  on 
corner  pair  the  edges  of  the  enamel  are  more  regular,  the  sur- 
face is  a  little  rubbed  or  worn,  but  only  on  exterior  edge. 
The  tush  has  attained  its  full  growth,  projects  outward,  con- 
cave within,  growing  to  a  point,  extremity  somewhat  curved 
as  shown  on  figure.     See  chart,  fig.  102  to  108. 

At  seven  years  the  mark  is  not  only  worn  out  from  the  two 
center  nippers  and  consequently  on  the  two  next,  but  it  is 
fast  wearing  away  on  the  two  corner  teeth.  The  tush  also 
begins  to  show  change.  The  point  and  edges  are  rounded, 
but  at  eight  years  the  tush  is  rounder  in  every  way.  The 
mark  has  disappeared  from  all  of  the  bottom  nippers,  and 
nearly  so  from  the  top.  All  the  teeth  are  worn,  but  the 
central  one  is  still  large  and  retains  some  of  its  blackness. 
There  is  nothing  remaining  on  the  bottom  nippers  that 
can  show  the  age  of  the  horse  at  all  reliable.  The  upper 
nippers  may  give  indications,  but  nothing  certain.  After 
age  of  eight  years  there  are  no  points  that  will  determine  the

age  with  accuracy.  A  horse  fed  on  corn  will  appear  older 
than  the  one  that  is  fed  on  oats  and  soft  food.  Fig.  109-110. 
At  nine  years  the  nippers  show  a  most  rounded  appearance. 
Little  remains  of  the  dental  bone,  but  begins  to  show  the 
dental  star.  At  ten  years  the  same  change  on  the  middle 
ones.  At  eleven  the  same  change  on  the  corner  ones.  At 
twelve  the  corner  teeth  are  round,  and  the  dental  bone  very 
apparent  throughout.  At  thirteen  there  is  a  total  disap- 
pearance of  the  interior  enamel.  From  fourteen  to  seven- 
teen they  assume  a  triangular  form;  the  central  ones  at 
fourteen  and  the  middle  ones  at  fifteen,  and  the  corner  ones 
at  sixteen.  At  eighteen  this  triangular  shape  grows  longer, 
and  becomes  radically  contracted.    See  chart,  fig.  1 1 1  to  1 15. 

At  six  years  the  teeth  are  short  and  flat,  gums  extending 
across  them  full  and  nearly  straight ;  passing  eight  the  gums 
recede  or  shrink  away  from  the  teeth  making  them  appear 
longer ;  at  ten  this  is  very  noticeable ;  while  passing  twelve 
the  gum  shows  almost  a  pointed  contact  with  the  center  of 
the  teeth  ;  at  eighteen  to  nineteen  the  gums  are  drawn  back 
much  sharper,  leaving  the  teeth  longer  and  narrower  in  ap- 
pearance.    See  chart,  fig.  115-116. 

With  increased  age,  deep  hollows  above  the  eyes  will  ap- 
pear, and  the  lower  lip  hangs  down  perceptibly.  Sometimes 
teeth  are  "bishoped,"  cut  down  by  saw,  or  file,  or  cutting 
machines,  to  deceive  as  to  the  age  of  a  horse,  quite  old  horses 
being  made  to  appear  eight  to  nine.  In  trading  or  buying, 
one  should  exercise  care  in  the  study  of  the  animal's  age. 

The  teeth  of  the  horse  should  have  frequent  attention. 
Shorten  with  the  rasp  the  lower  incisors  and  the  corners  of 
the  upper  molars,  and  inner  side  of  lower  teeth. 

For  illustrations  of  the  appearance  of  teeth  at  various 
ages  here  mentioned,  see  colored  chart,  fig.  102  to  116.

How  TO  Administer  a  Drink  or  Drench. — An  ordinary 
glass  bottle  may  be  used,  provided  there  are  no  points  around 
the  mouth,  but  either  the  usual  drenching  horn  or  a  tin  ves- 
sel with  a  narrow  mouth  is  safer.  The  head  should  not  be 
raised  higher  than  a  horizontal  position,  by  which  the  fluid 
gravitates  to  the  back  of  the  throat.

HINTS  WORTH  REMEMBERING. 
They  Mean  Money  to  You  and  Comfort  to  Your  Stock. 

Always  keep  in  your  stable  Daniels'  remedies.  They  are 
handy,  inexpensive  and  very  useful.  Even  if  you  depend 
usually  upon  a  veterinary,  he  can't  always  be  handy,  and 
the  Hfe  of  a  horse  often  depends  upon  immediate  help. 

Your  stable  should  be  kept  clean  and  disinfected  with 
Carbo-Negus ;  well  ventilated ;  avoid  draughts.  Keep  the 
crib  and  feed  box  clean  and  free  from  dust. 

Do  not  use  ground  and  patent  feeds.  They  are  expen- 
sive and  many  are  dangerous,  often  composed  of  sweepings, 
talc,  marble,  plaster  and  other  weight-giving  properties.- 
Use  oats,  corn,  good  hay,  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator. 

Whenever  you  notice  a  gall  or  sore  on  body  or  legs,  at 
once  put  on  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker.  It  will  prevent  an 
ugly  sore. 

Never  be  tempted  to  overload  your  team.  It  causes 
blindness,  strains,  splints,  spavins  and  many  painful  and 
often  fatal  diseases.     It  is  expensive,  too. 

Have  your  harness  and  collar  fit  in  every  part.  Wash 
the  inside  of  collar  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  dry  and 
oil  to  keep  it  soft.  Do  not  let  oil  remain  on  the  surface  of 
the  leather. 

Be  well  provided  with  blankets  and  use  freely  on  the 
horse.     You  will  have  less  colds,  distemper  and  disease. 

Never  startle  the  horse  by  striking  him  suddenly.  It 
will  cause  him  to  slip,  strain,  and  otherwise  injures  him. 
Never  allow  your  horse  to  stand  on  fermenting  manure. 
Causes  thrush  and  lameness. 

Disease  of  wounds  in  feet  or  legs  soon  become  dangerous 
if  neglected.  Daniels*  Liniments  are  always  of  value  for 
these  troubles. 

Old  horses  lose  their  teeth,  therefore  bruise  oats  and  corn, 
chop  the  hay.     They  can't  get  store  teeth. 

Never  put  a  cold  frosty  bit  into  a  horse's  mouth ;  it  is 
inhuman  and  brutal. 

Don't  whip  when  he  shies  or  stumbles ;  encouragement 
gets  better  results.     Use  the  whip  for  ornament  only. 

Reduce  the  quantity  of  feed  when  the  horse  is  idle,  if  it 
is  for  only  one  day.  Don't  feed  corn  or  meal  to  horses  in 
poor  health,  or  when  treating  for  worms  or  lameness.

CHAPTER  XVII. 

FEED  AND  DIET  FOR  THE  HORSE. 

Rules  for  Feeding,  Best  Forms  of  Feed,  How  and  When  to  Feed  and 
Water  your  Horse,  also  Directions  for  Nursing  and  Feeding  your  Sick 
and  Ailing  Horses. 

Diet  for  your  horse  should  be  varied.  Never  feed  the  same 
diet  continuously.  Oats,  corn  and  many  other  things  con- 
stitute good  feed,  but  not  all  the  time  ;  variety  is  better.  Not 
a  sudden  and  radical  change  in  feed.  If  an  animal  has  been 
fed  on  corn,  meal  or  oats,  don't  turn  him  out  to  depend 
entirely  on  grass,  or  he  may  scour. 

If  he  be  fat  and  lazy,  the  grass  feed  will,  no  doubt,  reduce 
the  flesh  and  blood,  but  if  he  be  thin,  he  should  have  a  little 
cracked  corn  or  oats  or  both,  which,  with  the  grass,  will  soon 
put  him  into  condition. 

The  great  majority  of  horses  are  overfed.  When  the 
horse  passes  much  undigested  food,  try  feeding  him  less. 

Three  meals  a  day  of  the  proper  kind  of  feed  is  better 
than  attempts  to  eat  all  the  horse  can  hold. 

Feed  according  to  the  size  of  the  horse  and  work  required. 
Many  country  horses  are  given  hay,  which  they  eat  until 
they  look  as  if  they  were  "blown  up."  Don't  think  they 
must  eat  hay  all  day. 

It  is  not  well  to  water  immediately  before,  and  it  never 
should  be  done  right  after  eating.  An  hour  or  so  afterwards 
would  be  a  good  time.  Don't  feed  and  water  on  the  road 
when  it  can  be  avoided.  If  we  feed  too  little  we  soon  find 
it  out.  The  horse  will  grow  thin  and  if  too  much  feed  be 
given,  the  animal  shows  it  by  disease  and  death.  Hence, 
study  the  animal's  wants  and  use  your  good  judgment. 

Oats  make  the  best  grain  feed  for  horses.  They  contain 
the  required  ingredients  for  the  general  nutrition  of  the 
entire  system.  They  are  easily  and  fully  digested  and  a 
larger  percentage  are  brought  into  use  in  building  up  the 
entire  structure.     Oats  one  year  old,  plump,  bright,  clean

and  hard,  perfectly  sweet,  are  the  kind.  Musty,  old,  dusty, 
dirty,  sweated,  fermented  or  otherwise  injured  oats  should 
never  be  fed.  If  a  horse  be  aged,  crushing  the  oats  gives  the 
best  results.  When  a  horse  is  a  ravenous  eater  crushing  the 
oats  and  spreading  them  over  a  large  surface,  prevents  to 
a  large  extent  this  tendency.  Oats  cut  about  a  week  or  ten 
days  before  ripening  are  considered  the  best.  Musty  and 
mouldy  oats  no  doubt,  cause  paralysis,  digestive  disorders, 
cold,  and  other  dread  diseases.    They  weaken  the  system. 

Wheat  and  Rye  should  be  used  sparingly  as  a  feed  for 
horses.  If  fed  alone,  look  out  for  founder  or  digestive  ills. 
They  should  always  be  ground  and  fed  mixed  with  other 
grains,  but  then  only  in  small  proportion. 

Bran  is  useful  as  a  mixture  with  other  feeds,  not  so  much 
as  a  regular  feed,  but  to  constitute  a  change,  by  being  mixed 
with  other  grains.  It  is  particularly  valuable  when  given 
as  a  warm  mash,  but  always  feed  it  in  a  sweet  condition. 

Corn  and  Meal  are  not  to  be  considered  as  a  regular  or 
exclusive  feed  for  horses.  Corn  on  the  cob  is  frequently  fed 
to  young  horses  with  lampas.  Old  corn  should  be  soaked 
in  clean,  cold  water  for  half  a  day,  or  it  should  be  cracked 
and  fed  with  oats.  Oats  and  corn  make  a  good  feed  for 
heavy,  hard  worked  horses.  Care  should  be  exercised  in 
feeding  corn  to  a  horse  not  accustomed  to  it,  small  quanti- 
ties only  at  first,  or  indigestion  will  follow. 

Linseed  Meal  is  often  used  with  other  food,  and  where 
a  laxative  condition  is  desired,  it  is  very  desirable.  A  little 
in  the  water  makes  an  excellent  drink  in  inflamed  conditions 
of  digestive  and  urinary  organs. 

Potatoes,  boiled,  are  a  good  root  to  feed  occasionally. 

Beets  are  not  much  used  for  horses,  while  carrots  make 
the  best  ration,  especially  during  sickness;  they  act  on  the 
appetite,  and  adding  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  once  daily, 
act  in  a  wonderful  manner  on  the  bowels,  kidneys  and  urin- 
ary organs.  A  horse  with  a  chronic  cough  fed  liberally  with 
carrots  and  Daniels'  Horse  Renovator  is  often  cured. 

Grass,  of  course,  is  nature's  feed  for  horses,  but  only  when 
the  horse  is  idle  will  grass  sustain  his  strength.  He  must 
have  grain  when  in  harness,  but  there  is  a  great  good  to  the 
horse  when  he  can  have  access  for  a  week  or  more  to  a  good 
rest  and  feed  of  grass.

Referring  to  hay,  Timothy  is  the  best  to  feed  and  gives  the 
best  returns,  and  if  cut  when  fed  it  will  pay  for  the  trouble. 
Musty  or  bad  hay  should  never  be  used  for  feed.  Clover 
hay  is  too  rich  ;  brings  on  heaves.  A  larger  quantity  of  poor 
hay  will  not  make  up  for  usual  feed  of  good  hay.  Poor 
hay  is  dear  at  any  price. 

Stock  Foods  should  never  be  fed  unless  the  contents  of 
each  package  is  plainly  printed  thereon. 

Oats  and  Grain,  with  good  hay,  make  the  cheapest,  best 
and  most  satisfactory  animal  food. 

Do  not  change  the  diet  too  suddenly,  and  do  not  feed 
hay  too  soon  after  grain  feed.  Never  feed  as  heavy  on 
Sundays  and  days  of  rest  as  when  working  hard,  and  do 
not  feed  an  extra  quantity  because  you  have  a  hard  day's 
work  or  a  long  journey  to  make,  and  do  not  feed  too  soon 
after  hard  work. 

If  possible,  a  horse  should  have  ample  time  before  feed- 
ing to  cool  off.  After  feeding,  rest  prevents  indigestion, 
colic  and  other  stomach  troubles. 

Water. — Should  be  given  to  a  horse  at  rest,  three  times 
daily.     When  at  work  oftener,  small  quantities  and  often. 

Water  never  should  be  given  ice  cold  and  when  given  be- 
fore feeding  at  least  fifteen  minutes  should  intervene. 

Water  from  clear  spring,  deep  well,  upland  surface  water,is 
considered  wholesome.  Water  from  cultivated  lands,  doubt- 
ful. Shallow  well  water,  river  water,  contaminated  by  sew- 
age, dangerous.  Pure  water  is  of  very  great  importance  in 
maintaining  health.     Where  is  your  w^ell  located? 

Impure  water  causes  great  loss  every  year  to  unthinking 
stock  owners,  through  diarrhoea,  dysentery  and  other  ills. 

All  animals  while  at  rest  immediately  after  work  should 
be  protected  from  the  cold  air  or  draughts.  When  put  in 
a  stable  he  should  be  well  rubbed  down  and  protected  with 
blankets ;  if  stable  is  cold  and  wind  is  blowing  through  it, 
blanket  him.  It  is  also  wise  to  always  "cool  off"  the  horse 
that  has  been  hard  worked  and  overheated  by  slowly  walk- 
ing about  until  "dried  off."  "Rub  him  down."  Your  horse, 
stopped  on  the  road  when  warm  or  exhausted,  if  only  for 
a  few  moments,  should  be  blanketed. 

Whenever  uncertain  what  to  do  for  your  stock  as  to 
treatment,  feed,  etc.,  write  to  Dr.  A  C.  Daniels.

NURSING  AND  FEEDING  SICK  AND  AILING  HORSES. 

The  sick  horse  should  be  placed  by  himself  in  a  box  stall 
which  is  scrupulously  clean,  well  bedded,  properly  venti- 
iated  and  free  from  draughts.  As  a  rule,  sick  horses  should 
be  kept  in  a  warm  atmosphere  in  which  the  waste  of  tissue 
will  be  less  than  when  the  air  is  cold,  for  they  are  seldom  able 
to  feed  heartily.  Warmth  is  especially  desirable  in  ailments 
of  the  chest  and  air  passages,  but  the  stable  should  be  ven- 
tilated so  as  to  prevent  the  air  from  becoming  vitiated.  In 
ailments  which  require  the  skin  to  be  kept  in  healthy  action 
warmth  is  essential,  and  it  is  more  desirable  to  raise  the 
temperature  of  the  atmosphere  than  to  use  an  abundance 
of  clothing.  There  should  be  perfect  ventilation  without 
draughts.  A  good  way  is  to  raise  the  sash  a  few  inches  and 
close  the  opening  with  a  board ;  the  air  will  get  in  between 
the  sashes  without  a  draught. 

The  patient  should  be  loose  in  the  stall  so  that  he  can 
move  about  or  lie  down  at  will,  unless  the  trouble  requires 
him  to  be  placed  in  slings  or  tied  up.  In  cases  of  lameness, 
saw  dust,  tan  bark,  moss  or  wood  shavings  are  better  than 
straw  bedding.  Should  the  patient  possess  an  irritable  skin 
a  cotton  sheet  should  be  placed  between  it  and  the  heavier 
blanket. 

Temptingly  prepared  food,  judiciously  varied,  should  be 
given  in  small  quantities,  and  often,  in  order  to  stimulate  an 
appetite,  remnants  of  the  food  should  be  immediately  re- 
moved and  the  manger  cleaned.  Neither  food  nor  drink 
should  be  forced  on  the  animal,  as  his  appetite  will  indicate 
whether  or  not  his  system  requires  food. 

Laxative  Food. — It  is  good  for  allaying  inflammatory 
symptoms  w^hen  it  is  desired  to  keep  the  bowels  in  a  lax 
state  and  in  promoting  the  excretion  of  waste  material  from 
the  system,  as  well  as  to  keep  up  strength.  Grass,  green 
wheat,  oats  and  barley;  carrots,  parsnips,  turnips,  gruel, 
bran  mash,  linseed  and  bran  mash,  boiled  barley,  linseed  tea 
and  hay  tea.     Always  add  Horse  Renovator  to  a  mash. 

Linseed  Tea. — Bruised  linseed,  four  to  six  ounces,  one 
gallon  boiling  water,  simmer  for  two  hours,  strain,  add 
a  little  molasses. 

Linseed  Mash. — Linseed,  two  quarts,  teacupful  of  sugar, 
six  quarts  boiling  water,  simmer  slowly  four  to  five  hours.

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

HOW  TO  LOCATE  LAMENESS  IN  THE  HORSE. 

Showing  the  Various  Movements  and  Actions  of  the  Feet  and  Legs  in 
the  many  Forms  of  Lameness,  the  Dipping  of  Head  or  Croup,  Knuckling, 
Laminitis,  Navicular  and  other  Leg  Troubles. 

When  locating  lameness  in  3^our  horse  watch  closely  every 
motion  and  position  of  the  horse  when  in  action,  or  at  rest, 
feet,  legs,  shoulders,  ankles,  and  knees  should  all  be  exam- 
ined closely.  Begin  to  look  for  lameness  at  the  bottom  of 
the  foot  and  work  up  with  the  examination  to  the  shoulder. 
The  shoulder  lameness  is  more  rare  ;  foot  lameness  almost 
universal.    Look  to  the  foot  first. 

Examine  the  bones,  joints,  frog  and  soft  flesh  parts  min- 
utely for  any  signs  of  heat,  swelling,  tenderness  or  inflamma- 
tion ;  rememxber  the  sc  ^ner  treatment  is  applied  alter  injury 
the  less  the  expense  and  trouble  and  the  sooner  the  horse 
is  relieved. 

Remember  many  small  strains  or  simple  strains  which 
by  a  few  moments  attention  and  care  you  might  cure  and 
remedy  in  a  night,  if  left  a  day  or  week  neglected,  become 
permanent  injuries,  causing  loss  and  suffering ;  hence,  watch 
your  horse's  legs  and  feet  and  always  consider  the  slightest 
sign  of  injury  v/orth  your  marked  attention. 

Remember,  also,  lameness  in  a  horse  means  anything  from 
the  slightest  strain,  or  sore  spot,  or  muscle  to  going  on  three 
legs,  and  the  smallest  sign  of  slip,  strain  or  trouble  may  put 
your  horse  in  this  condition. 

It  may  not  always  be  possible  for  you  to  locate  the  exact 
spot,  but  these  rules  may  help  you. 

Lameness. — On  the  left  side  the  weight  will  settle  to  the 
right,  and  if  the  lameness  is  on  the  right  the  weight  will 
settle  to  the  left,  hence  do  not  look  for  the  lameness  in  the 
leg  which  he  seems  to  favor  or  drop ;  look  in  its  opposite  first. 
Examine  for  lameness  under  trot ;  this  is  the  best  gait  for 
determining  the  trouble ;  face  the  horse  and  note  to  which 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


114    Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


side  of  the  body  the  head  drops.  If  the  lameness  is  in 
the  left  side  the  head  will  drop  to  the  right,  while  if  the 
head  drop  to  the  left,  the  lameness  will  be  on  the  right. 
So  too  with  the  hind  quarters,  if  the  left  hip  be  dropped 
the  horse  is  found  to  be  lame  on  the  right  side,  and  if 
the  lameness  is  on  the  right  side,  the  hip  will  come  down 
on  the  left  side.  Now  when  we  have  determined  which 
leg  is  lame,  it  becomes  oftentimes  a  problem  to  tell  where 
the  lameness  is.  It  is,  however,  safe  to  say  in  any  ob- 
scure case  whatever,  look  at  the  foot.  It  is  said  90%  of 
lameness  is  found  in  the  foot.  Even  when  you  find  and  lo- 
cate a  spavin,  splint  or  ringbone,  don't  fail  to  further  exam- 
ine the  foot.  Bone  disease  follows  neglect  in  treatment,  such 
as  splint,  spavin,  ringbone,  etc.  These  are  all  bone  diseases 
but  in  their  beginning  they  are  inflammatory  conditions, 
which  were  first  unobserved,  then  neglected  or  poorly  treat- 
ed, until  they  grew  into  soft  bunches  or  swelHngs  to  be 
followed  by  chronic  periostitis  or  bony  growths  referred  to 
on  the  hock,  cannon  bone  and  coronet. 

When  at  rest,  the  horse  pointing  one  foot  in  front  of  its 
mate  indicates  lameness  of  that  leg. 

Usually  if  the  trouble  is  in  the  front  of  the  foot  the  heel 
will  likely  take  the  weight  first,  while  if  it  be  in  the  back  of 
the  foot  the  toe  will  take  more  of  the  weight,  the  heel  being 
held  up. 

When  the  upper  part  is  extended,  knee  bent,  and  foot 
nearly  in  line  with  its  mate,  look  for  lameness  at  elbow. 

If  the  limb  be  relaxed,  the  knee  bent,  one  foot  behind 
the  other,  look  for  the  lameness  in  the  shoulder. 

Hind  foot  knuckling  or  off  the  ground ,  shows  lame  hind  foot. 

If  one  hind  leg  is  held  in  front  of  its  mate,  look  for  the 
lameness  below  or  in  the  hock. 

Both  hind  feet  well  forward,  head  up,  both  front  feet  may 
be  lame. 

Fore  feet  back  under  the  chest,  leaning  forward,  the  head 
down,  both  hind  feet  may  be  lame. 

If  your  horse  be  on  the  road  and  his  head  nods  and  dips, 
there  is  lameness  forward. 

If  the  head  drop  to  the  right,  look  for  the  lameness  on  the 
left,  while  if  the  head  drop  to  left,  the  lameness  is  on  right. 

If  croup  be  dipping,  the  lameness  is  behind. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  andCattle 


Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.  115 

If  the  foot  is  lifted  straight  up  and  quickly,  lameness  in 
hind  foot  or  hock. 

Remember  the  hip  drops  opposite  to  the  lame  side,  thus 
if  the  nodding  of  the  head  and  the  dropping  of  the  hip  be 
on  the  left  side,  look  for  lameness  on  the  right. 

The  reverse  of  these  movements  shows  lameness  on  the 
other  side,  so  it  is  not  so  hard  to  tell  in  which  leg  lies  the 
lameness. 

Fore  foot  swung  around  sort  of  half-circle  near  the  ground, 
lameness  is  probably  in  elbow  or  shoulder.  Lead  him  to 
step  over  some  obstacle  six  or  eight  inches  high.  If  he  steps 
over  it  is  not  shoulder  lameness. 

In  the  pointing  of  elbow  lameness  the  forearm  is  extended, 
the  knee  in  a  state  of  flexion  and  the  foot  on  a  level  with 
or  back  of  its  fellow.  In  severe  shoulder  lameness  the  leg 
is  relaxed,  knee  bent  and  the  foot  back  of  its  fellow ;  some- 
times the  toe  only  touches  the  groun-d  and  the  whole  leg 
semi-pendulous  owing  to  the  inability  of  the  muscles  to  ele- 
vate and  bring  it  forward  without  pain. 

If  the  toe  is  brought  down  first,  look  for  Sidebone,  Sprain 
of  Back  Sinews,  Sprain  of  Suspensory  Ligaments,  Navicu- 
lar Disease,  Shoulder  Lameness  or  Hip- Joint  Lameness. 

In  the  early  stages  of  Navicular  trouble,  the  horse  some- 
times points  by  simply  keeping  the  foot  advanced  with  both 
heel  and  toe  on  the  ground ;  but  he  soon  begins  to  support 
the  foot  by  the  toe  and  to  "round"  the  fetlock  joint.  In 
rare  cases  he  will  stand  level.  Sometimes  lameness  is  man- 
ifested by  a  horse  when  standing,  by  shifting  his  feet  fre- 
quently. Animals  affected  with  Navicular  trouble  often, 
acquire  the  habit  of  lying  down  in  their  stalls  a  great  deal. 

If  the  foot  be  brought  down  heel  first,  look  for  Founder, 
Laminitis,  Seedytoe,  Ringbone,  Stifle  Joint  Lameness. 

If,  when  you  first  drive  out,  little  lameness  or  perhaps 
none,  but  it  appears  and  increases  while  at  work,  look  for 
Splint,  Sore  Shins,  Side-bones  or  Knee-joint  Lameness. 

When  considerably  lame  at  starting,  but  seems  to  wear 
away  at  work,  look  for  Navicular,  Grogginess,  Rheumatism, 
etc. 

In  Acute  Laminitis,  when  the  trouble  is  in  the  fore  feet, 
the  horse  advances  them  so  as  to  relieve  the  toes  of  pres- 
sure and  to  throw  the  weight  of  the  body  on  the  hind  legs. 

Home  Treatment  for  IIorsesand  Cattle 


116  Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 


When  the  hind  feet  are  affected  the  animal  draws  back  his 
fore  feet  and  advances  the  hind  feet. 

When  trotting  along  straight  no  lameness  is  noticed,  but 
in  turning  quickly  it  appears  prominent,  String-halts  or 
Sprained  Back. 

When  the  trouble  is  not  in  the  foot  and  you  notice  the 
pointing,  the  joints  of  the  foot  are  bent,  the  heel  raised ; 
this  shows  lameness  above  the  foot. 

Embolisms. — Cause  certain  forms  of  lameness,  almost  im- 
possible to  locate  by  the  inexperienced,  and  are  caused  by 
certain  conditions  of  the  blood  vessels,  forming  clots  in  the 
arteries.  They  increase  in  size,  passing  from  one  to  another 
until  arrested  at  some  point,  they  prevent  further  circulation 
in  that  direction,  causing  sw^ellings  and  painful  lameness. 
The  hind  legs  in  particular  illustrate  this  disease.  When 
the  horse,  seeming  in  good  condition,  show^s  lameness  in 
one  leg,  the  more  he  is  worked,  or  the  faster  the  gait,  the 
greater  the  lameness  grows ;  on  being  allowed  to  rest,  the 
lameness  disappears.  Embolism  is  there,  and  when  again 
put  to  work,  walking  may  not  show  it  much,  but  put  to  a 
trot  he  slackens  pace,  and  if  pushed,  becomes  lamer  and 
lamer,  refuses  to  go,  breaks  into  profuse  perspiration,  act- 
ually falling  down,  if  not  allowed  to  rest,  but  always  re- 
peating this  act  if  again  put  to  work. 

Gait. — Short  and  cautious  indicates  Navicular  Disease. 
Slow  and  unsteady.  Vertigo,  and  Fever. 

If  the  horse  steps  short  and  slow,  back  arched,  consti- 
pated, chest  tender  to  pressure,  fore  feet  hot,  and  thrown 
forward,  movements  stiff,  urine  highly  colored,  look  out  for 
Inflammation  of  the  Pleura.  This  condition  is  often  termed 
Founder.  Tender  feet  shorten  the  .gait.  Injuries  to  or 
atrophy  of  the  muscles  cause  a  low  or  dragging  gait  or 
the  horse  strikes  or  interferes.  Slow  and  heavy  moving 
horses  are  more  liable  to  cut  the  inner  coronet. 

When  the  foot  is  to  be  turned  in  or  out,  placing  the  calks 
one  further  back  than  the  other  will  regulate  the  foot  move- 
ment, or  one  may  be  placed  on  the  outer  and  one  on  the  inner 
edge  of  the  shoe. 

When  the  toe  is  too  far  in  front  use  a  four  calked  shoe, 
also  when  the  ankle  is  too  low ;  if  the  calks  are  put  far  back 
it  will  save  excessive  shortening  of  the  toe.

CHAPTER  XIX. 

SIGNS  AND  INDICATIONS  OF  DISEASE  IN  THE  HORSE. 

How  to  Diagnose  and  Anticipate  Ills  in  the  Horse  by  the  Actions,  Atti- 
tude and  General  Appearance  of  the  Animal  which  cause  Peculiar  Dem- 
onstrations under  Attacks  of  Illness. 

In  observing  and  studying  the  condition  of  your  animal 
and  diagnosing  ills,  attention  should  be  given  minutely,  to 
all  parts  of  the  body,  as  the  Eyes,  Mouth,  Tongue,  Ears, 
Throat,  Pulse,  Perspiration,  Breath,  Heart,  Nose,  Teeth, 
Skin,  Coat,  Back,  Attitude  in  various  Conditions  and  Po- 
sitions, Appetite,  Urine,  Droppings,  etc.,  etc. 

Diseases  of  the  Digestive  Organs. — Abnormal  appe- 
tite usually  indicates  worms  or  irritation  of  the  stomach. 
In  diarrhoea  the  discharges  from  the  bowels  are  frequent  and 
watery,  in  constipation,  infrequent,  dry  and  hard. 

When  an  animal  passes  blood,  it  is  generally  from  dysen- 
tery, piles,  ulcers  in  the  bowels,  or  rupture.  Swelling  of  the 
belly,  unusual  discharges  of  wind,  and  fits  of  giddiness  are 
common  in  colic  and  indigestion.     Watch  the  signs. 

Lying  down  and  soon  rising,  noticeable  in  Colic,  Typhoid, 
Gastritis,  Inflammation  of  Stomach. 

Rolling  and  tumbling,  seen  in  Rupture  of  Stomach,  Colic, 
Gorged,  Overfed,  Strangulation  of  Intestines,  etc. 

Showing  pain,  colicky  symptoms,  lies  down  flat  on  hisback, 
head  and  legs  extended,  may  be  impaction  of  the  large  In- 
testines, which  will  surely  prove  fatal,  unless  treatment  is 
promptly  given. 

Diseases  of  the  Urinary  Organs. — Fever,  stiffness  of 
back,  straddling  gait  with  hind  limbs,  trouble  in  lying  down 
and  rising  and  walking  in  a  circle,  tucked  up  flanks,  arched 
back,  looking  back  at  abdomen,  tenderness  of  loins  to  pres- 
sure about  six  inches  to  one  side  the  median  line,  urinates 
in  small  quantities,  frequently  highly  colored  or  mixed  with 
blood,  or  pus,  legs  and  flesh  under  belly  and  chest  swollen, 
indicates  Acute  Inflammation  of  Kidneys. 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


118  Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

When  seen  frequently  stretching  and  straining  to  urinate 
with  only  dribbling  results,  perhaps  groaning,  paws,  shakes 
tail,  kicks  at  abdomen,  looks  at  flanks,  lies  down,  gets  up, 
arches  the  back,  and  attempts  to  urinate  with  same  result, 
we  may  expect  to  find  Spasms,  or  Inflammation  of  the  Neck 
of  the  Bladder. 

Constant  dribbling  of  urine,  running  down  inside  of  thighs 
and  skin,  look  for  Paralysis  of  Bladder  involving  the  neck 
thereof,  but  when  neck  of  bladder  is  not  affected  the  bladder 
becomes  extended  and  the  urine  is  expelled  with  a  gush. 

Shivering  Fits. — Followed  by  discharge  from  nostrils,  in- 
dicates Influenza,  Epizootic,  Distemper,  Pneumonia;  with  no 
discharge  from  nostrils,  may  be  Peritonitis   Enteritis. 

Thigh. — Corded,  svv^ellingon  inside  of  thighs,  legs  swollen, 
pulse  small  and  quick,  look  out  for  Farcy. 

Brain. — When  there  is  an  unusual  dullness  and  sleepiness 
or  extreme  wakefulness  or  wildness,  it  indicates  brain  trouble. 
Palsy,  spasms  and  convulsions  lead  to  the  same  trouble.  A 
prominent  and  swollen  condition  of  both  eyes  also  indicates 
congestion  of  the  brain. 

The  He  ad. — Depressed  and  bent  to  one  side,  sleepy,  hates 
to  move,  eye  dilated  and  inflamed,  appearing  blind,  Abscess

cold,  much  gas,  tries  to  vomit,  Stomach  Troubles.  Droop- 
ing, flanks  heaving,  fore  legs  separated  widely,  mouth  hot 
or  sticky,  dull  appearance,  look  out  for  Inflammation  of 
Lungs.  Resting  on  the  manger,  falls  asleep  with  loud  noise 
in  breathing,  Stomach  Staggers.  Swollen,  as  well  as  the  low- 
er part  of  abdomen,  Ansmic,  Poor  Blood,  Dropsy.  Turning 
toward  belly,  breathing  noisy  and  oppressed,  eye  dilated  and 
bloodshot,  rolling  and  tumbling,  tail  quivers,  tongue  color 
of  lead,  Stomach  Trouble,  probably  Rupture.  Held  contin- 
uously near  the  ground,  crouching  position  or  sitting  on 
haunches,  Ruptured  Stomach.  Swollen,  upper  jaw.  Big  Head. 
Turned  towards  the  abdomen,  walks  in  circle,  straddling  gait, 
Nephritis,  Inflammation  of  Kidneys,  Urinary  Troubles,  etc.

Dear  Friend: 

The  Massachusetts  Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Animals 
and  the  American  Humane  Society,  take  pleasure  in  presenting  you  with 
a  copy  of  the  Horse's  Prayer,  and  ask  your  co-operation  in  bettering  the 
condition  of  all  horses  in  our  city,  state  and  country,  and  in  the  preven- 
tion of  cruelty  of  every  sort.  We  shall  be  glad  to  send  a  copy  to  any 
friend  of  yours  whose  name  you  may  give  us.  Perhaps  you  would  put  a 
copy  up  in  your  stable  where  others  may  read  it. 

FRANCIS  H.  ROWLEY,  President. 

Wi}t  ?|ors(e*sJ  draper. 

To  THEE,  MY  MASTER,  I  offer  my  prayer:  Feed  me,  water  and 
care  for  me,  and,  when  the  day's  work  is  done,  provide  me  with  shelter,  a 
clean,  dry  bed  and  a  stall  wide  enough  for  me  to  lie  down  in  comfort. 

Always  be  kind  to  me.  Talk  to  me.  Your  voice  often  means  as  much 
to  me  as  the  reins.  Pet  me  sometimes,  that  I  may  serve  you  the  more 
gladly  and  learn  to  love  you.  Do  not  jerk  the  reins,  and  do  not  whip  me 
when  going  up  hill.  Never  strike,  beat  or  kick  me  when  I  do  not  under- 
stand what  you  want,  but  give  me  a  chance  to  understand  you.  Watch  me, 
and  if  I  fail  to  do  your  bidding,  see  if  something  is  not  wrong  with  my  har- 
ness or  feet. 

Do  not  check  me  so  that  I  cannot  have  the  free  use  of  my  head-  If  you 
insist  that  I  wear  blinders,  so  that  I  cannot  see  behind  me  as  it  was  intended 
I  should,  I  pray  you  be  careful  that  the  blinders  stand  well  out  from  my  eyes. 

Do  not  overload  me,  or  hitch  me  where  water  will  drip  on  me.  Keep 
me  well  shod.  Examine  my  teeth  when  I  do  not  eat,  I  may  have  an  ulcer- 
ated tooth,  and  that,  you  know,  is  very  painful.  Do  not  tie  my  head  in  an 
unnatural  position,  or  take  away  my  best  defense  against  flies  and  mosquitoes 
by  cutting  off  my  tail. 

I  cannot  tell  you  when  I  am  thirsty,  so  give  me  clean  cool  water  often. 
Save  me,  by  all  means  in  your  power,  from  that  fatal  disease — the  glanders. 
I  cannot  tell  you  in  words  when  I  am  sick,  so  watch  me,  that  by  signs  you 
may  know  my  condition.  Give  me  all  possible  shelter  from  the  hot  sun, 
and  put  a  blanket  on  me,  not  when  lam  working  but  when  I  am  standing  in 
the  cold.  Never  put  a  frosty  bit  in  my  mouth;  first  warm  it  by  holding  it  a 
moment  in  your  hands. 

I  try  to  carry  you  and  your  burdens  without  a  murmur,  and  v^^ait  pa- 
tiently for  you  long  hours  of  the  day  or  night.  Without  the  power  to  choose 
my  shoes  or  path,  I  sometimes  fall  on  the  hard  pavements  which  I  have  often 
prayed  might  not  be  of  wood  but  of  such  a  nature  as  to  give  me  a  safe  and 
sure  footing.  Remember  that  I  must  be  ready  at  any  moment  to  lose  my 
life  in  your  service. 

And  finally,  O  MY  MASTER,  when  my  useful  strength  is  gone,  do 
not  turn  me  out  to  starve  or  freeze,  or  sell  me  to  some  cruel  owner,  to  be 
slowly  tortured  and  starved  to  death;  but  do  Thou,  My  Master,  take  my  life 
in  the  kindest  way,  and  your  God  will  reward  you  here  and  hereafter.  You 
will  not  consider  me  irreverent  if  I  ask  this  in  the  name  of  Him  who  was 
bom  in  a  Stable.     Amen.

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Perfection  Hoof  Food 


-AND  ITS  USE  IN- 


Growing,  Dressing,  Polishing  and  Preserring  the  Feet  of  Horses. 
Especially  designed  for  horses  used  in  the  cities  and  for  the 
treatment    of  Cracked,  Brittle,  Tender  and  Con- 
tracted Hoof,  Corns,  Quarter  Cracks,  etc. 

The  horse's  feet  require  constant  care.  More  than  one- 
half  the  ills  befalling  his  feet  arise  from  neglect  or  lack  of 
care.  Shod  artificially,  worked  on  artificial  roads,  stand- 
ing on  artificial  floors,  are  injurious  conditions  for  the  horse's 
feet  to  contend  against,  thus  demanding  of  caretakers  or 
owners  an  extra  amount  of  consideration  to  preserve  the 
feet,  w^hich  few  horses  get.  "No  foot,  no  horse."  Neglected, 
the  hoof  becomes  hard,  brittle  and  shelly,  resulting  in  con- 
craction,  cracked  hoof,  etc.,  or  frog  becomes  soft,  heated, 
decomposed,  emits  foul  odors,  constituting  thrush,  canker, 
greased  heel,  etc.  Shoes  allowed  to  remain  on  the  feet  until 
j  worn  out,  or  come  off  by  accident  are  a  menace  to  the 
'  horse's  usefulness. 

Hoof  Suggestions. — Always  look  at  the  feet  with  care 
each  day  to  see  that  they  are  in  good  condition.  Note  if 
the  shoes  are  all  right,  and  remember  that  it  is  not  always 
economy  to  wear  the  shoes  forever ;  three  or  four  weeks'  wear 
is  cheaper  in  the  end.  Prevent  the  heel  and  sole  from  be- 
coming hard,  dry  and  shelly  by  applying  once  daily  Dan- 
iels' Perfection  Hoof  Dressing  and  Food.  Watch  for  poorly 
clinched  nails,  which  will  lead  to  accident. 

Dress  the  hoof  and  polish  with  dry  cloth  before  driving 
out.  This  improves  the  looks  of  your  horse,  at  the  same 
time  furnishes  proper  food  for  the  hoof.  This  is  the  best 
kind  for  city  horses  exposed  to  pavements ;  it  keeps  the  hoof 
soft  and  pliable,  prevents  contraction,  shelly  and  brittle 
hoofs,  keeps  the  hoof  looking  healthy,  feeds  the  hoof. 

Whenever  the  hoof  looks  dry  and  shelly  use  this  Hoof 
Dressing  freely.  If  contracted  use  it  daily ;  in  fact  its  free 
use  prevents  about  all  hoof  ills  and  cures  most  of  them. 

Always  write  for  information ;  it  is  free,  and  we  are  pleased 
to  help  you  keep  the  horses'  feet  in  good  condition.

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Famous  Gall-Cura 


-AND  ITS  USE  IN- 


The  Treatment  of  Harness  and  Saddle  Galls,  Sores,  Chaps,  Speedy 
Cuts,  Scratches  and  Abrasions  of  the  Skin. 

Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Gall-Cura,  the  original,  the  kind  they 
imitate,  and  the  kind  that  always  cures ;  the  kind  that  cures 
whether  you  work  the  horse  or  not.  Any  harness  or  saddle 
gall  can  be  cured  with  Daniels'  Gall  Cura.  Remember  this 
statement.  Money  is  refunded  if  it  fails,  so  you  take  no  risk 
with  Daniels'.  Good  for  all  sores.  Stops  itching  on  swine. 
Ointment  for  sore  heads  in  sheep.  Cures  scratches  on  horses. 
Handy  to  have,  inexpensive,  will  retain  its  goodness  foryears. 
Contains  no  poison. 

Harness  or  Saddle  Galls. — For  fresh  sores  carefully 
cover  each  sore  spot  that  comes  under  the  harness  with 
this  salve  every  time  before  putting  on  the  harness.  Heals 
such  places  quickly.     Work  the  horse  or  not. 

Notice. — If  you  have  a  malignant  case  or  have  tried 
imitations  or  other  so-called  cures  without  success,  follow 
this  treatment  and  cure  it  every  time.  Wash  with  a  warm 
solution  of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  to  destroy  germs  or  poison. 
Wet  the  sore  Vv-ith  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  when 
unharnessed  and  cover  the  sore  well  with  Daniels'  Gall-Cura 
while  harnessed,  and  working.  Repeat  for  a  few  days  and 
you  can  cure  any  gall  ever  made. 

Sometim.es  sores  do  not  yield  to  external  treatment,  or 
quickly  break  out  again ;  this  is  because  of  poor  blood  and 
run-down  condition.  Whenever  you  have  trouble  in  healing 
any  sore,  give  a  few  doses  of  Horse  Renovator  for  the  blood. 

Sores. — Not  covered  by  the  harness,  apply  Gall-Cura  once 
or  twice  a  day,  rubbing  the  salve  in  well  with  the  fingers. 

Scratches. — Use  no  soap;  clean  out  mud  and  dirt  with 
a  soft  brush,  and  rub  in  this  salve  well  with  the  hands  twice 
a  day  or  as  often  as  required. 

Chaps,  Speedy  Cuts  and  Abrasion,  Skin  Off. — Rub 
on  Gall-Cura ;  it  heals  quickly. 

For  Baldness. — Rub  Gall-Cura  into  the  skin  freely 

In  any  trouble  write  for  assistance.

The  Treatment  of  Mange,  Eczema,  Herpes,  Scaly  Skin,  Erythema, 

Scratches,  Psoriasis,  Papules,  Pruritis,   Pustules,    Scabies, 

Nettle  Rash,  Surfeit  Buds,  Baldness,  Ringworms, 

Tetter  and  all  Skin  Diseases. 

For  the  skin  ills  of  Horses^  Dogs,  Cats  or  other  animals. 

For  Mange, — Wash  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  and 
apply  Daniels'  Mange  Remedy,  repeating  daily.  Give  physic 
and  proper  foods.     Disinfect  surroundings. 

For  Eczema. — Wash  with  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  and 
give  physic.  Apply  Mange  Remedy  and  repeat  frequently  for 
several  weeks.  Attention  to  feed.  Keep  in  a  laxative  con- 
dition. 

For  Baldness. — Rub  the  Mange  Remedy  well  into  the 
pores  of  the  skin,  repeating  every  two  or  three  days. 

For  Scratches. — Clean  out  the  mud  and  dirt.  Rub  the 
Mange  Remedy  well  into  the  skin  daily. 

For  all  forms  of  eruptions,  Scaly  Skin,  Rash,  Papules,  Her- 
pes, Tetter,  Pimples,  Pustules,  Scabies,  Buds,  Ringworm  and 
skin  ills,  it  is  safe  to  advise  washing  with  solution  of  Carbo- 
Negus  and  applying  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Mange  Remedy,  re- 
membering these  are  but  the  indications  of  other  troubles, 
neglect,  careless  feeding,  improper  conditions,  etc.  We  must 
give  attention  to  feed  which  will  correct  the  conditions 
causing  these  skin  manifestations  of  sickness  and  thus 
prevent  all  skin  diseases  in  general. 

In  all  skin  ills  one  should  locate  the  cause,  because  skin 
ills  are  the  result  of  some  other  trouble  and  to  meet  with 
success  in  the  treatment  of  any  of  the  skin  diseases  we  must 
eradicate  the  cause.  Cleanliness  and  proper  sanitary  con- 
ditions have  much  to  do  with  these  troubles.  Proper  food 
and  care  contribute  their  share  to  the  well  being  of  our 
dumb  animals.  It  is  useless  to  apply  remedies  or  to  give 
medicines,  if  we  neglect  the  care,  feed  or  sanitary  require- 
ments. Write  to  Dr.  A.  C  Daniels  if  further  suggestions  are 
desired.     We  can  help  you  in  the  care  of  your  animals. 

Carbo-Negus  is  a  great  help  in  treating  skin  troubles.

the  lotion  under  corner  of  nail ;  bind  it  on  over  night 

Rheumatism. — In  very  many  cases  of  this  painful  disease 
nothing  has  ever  been  discovered  for  an  outward  applica- 
tion to  compare  with  the  Wonder  Worker. 

Treatment. — Steam  with  hot  applications  to  thoroughly 
soften  the  skin  and  open  the  pores,  then  rub  in  the  Wonder 
Worker  with  the  hand,  and  by  any  convenient  means  heat

two  until  relieved. 

Neuralgia. — This  very  "king  of  pain"  yields  to  a  thor- 
ough treatment  with  the  Wonder  Worker,  as  directed  for 
rheumatism.  It  has  afforded  relief  for  the  tortured  nerves 
in  a  few  hours,  and  sometimes  minutes,  in  cases  that  had 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


134  Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

baffled  the  ablest  physicians  and  defied  all  treatment  for 
weeks,  months,  and  sometimes  years.    Do  not  delay  its  use. 

Treatment. — Steam  thoroughly,  or  make  hot  applications 
to  soften  up  the  surface.  Apply  the  Wonder  Worker  freely, 
rubbing  it  in  well ;  wet  a  cloth  Vvdth  the  Lotion,  place  a  dry 
one  over  that  and  steam  by  holding  a  hot  flat  over  it  for  a 
few  minutes ;  repeat  several  times  daily. 

Burns  and  Scalds. — Undoubtedly  many  thousands  of 
human  lives  might  have  been  saved  by  a  timely  use  of  this 
wonderful  healer,  as,  if  applied  at  once,  its  action  is  mar- 
velous. It  will  instantly  form  a  coating  over  the  flesh,  keep- 
ing out  the  air,  relieving  all  the  pain  at  once,  and  beginning" 
to  heal  from  the  moment  of  its  application.  Women  and 
children  who  are  around  the  cook  stove  very  often  get  a 
small  bum  which  will  cause  great  pain.  A  few  drops  of 
this  Liniment  will  save  hours  of  pain  and  torture. 

Piles. — Many  thousands  of  bottles  of  Wonder  Worker 
have  been  used  for  this  disgusting  and  distressing  trouble, 
and  a  single  instance  has  never  been  heard  of  where  it  did 
not  afford  immediate  relief,  and  in  a  great  majority  of  cases 
an  ultimate  cure.  It  has  entirely  and  permanently  cured 
many  cases  that  were  of  years'  standing,  on  which,  in  some 
instances,  hundreds  of  dollars  had  been  thrown  away  in 
vainly  searching  for  relief  even.  To  any  one  troubled  to 
a  greater  or  less  degree  with  this  annoying  complaint,  one 
bottle  of  Dr.  Daniels'  Wonder  Worker  Lotion  will  always 
relieve  and  probably  permanently  cxire  you.  Try  it  and 
tell  your  suffering  friends  the  result.  Obtain  a  sm^all,  soft 
sponge,  fill  it  with  the  Liniment,  and  carefully  touch  the 
parts,  say,  two  or  three  times  a  day.  If  all  parts  cannot  be 
reached  in  this  way,  use  a  small  syringe  to  inject  a  small 
quantity,  or  small  brush. 

Strains  and  Sprains. — Bind  up  and  keep  moist  with 
the  Wonder  Worker  Lotion. 

This  Liniment  will  stain  clothing,  but  will  always  heal 
and  relieve.  Every  household  should  have  a  bottle  of 
Wonder  Worker  Lotion.  It  has  so  many  uses  it  will  be 
found  invaluable. 

This  healing  lotion  is  perfectly  safe  to  use  on  the  most 
tender  or  sensitive  skin,  and  will  aid  in  the  rapid  healing  of 
almost  any  kind  of  sores  and  wounds.

DR.   A.   C.   DANIELS'    CARBO-NEGUS    DISINFECTANT,    DEO- 
DORIZER AND  CLEANSER  FOR  FAMILY  USE. 

The  use  of  some  sort  of  disinfecting  fluid  or  powder  has 
become  recognized  by  all  authorities  as  of  the  utmost  im- 
portance in  treating  all  forms  of  disease,  in  all  surgical  op- 
erations, in  healing  wounds  or  sores  on  mankind  and  animxal, 
in  preventing  the  spread  of  all  forms  of  contagion,  in  puri- 
fying all  sorts  of  places,  things  and  substances.  In  fact, 
all  properly  disinfected  surroundings  insure  good  health, 
strength  and  happiness.  Hence  the  importance  of  securing 
the  best  form  of  disinfectant.  Dr.  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus 
destroys  all  forms  of  germ  life  or  microbe  wherever  existing, 
arising  from  cholera,  diphtheria,  typhoid,  scarlet  fever,  dys- 
entery, dead  and  decayed  animal  or  vegetable  matter. 

Carbo-Negus  is  King  among  the  long  array  of  disin- 
fectants, many  of  which  are  close  imitations  of  Carbo-Negus 
in  color,  aroma,  and  general  appearance.  Carbo-Negus,  how- 
ever, is  easily  proven  superior  to  any  similar  disinfectant 
fluid.  Carbo-Negus  is  the  original  from  which  nearly  all 
similar  fluids  are  imitations,  and  as  a  consequence  Carbo- 
Negus  retains  more  of  its  original  strength,  purity  and  med- 
icinal qualities  than  any  of  the  numerous  imitations  so 
freely  advertised.  Carbo-Negus  solution  is  non-poisonous, 
leaves  no  stain  or  blemish  on  the  finest  fabric,  can  be  safely 
used  on  bed  clothes,  furniture,  carpets,  draperies,  etc.,  with- 
out fear  of  damaging  them  in  any  manner.  Carbo-Negus  is 
one  of  the  most  powerful  disinfectants  known  to  science,  des- 
troying all  disease  germs,  microbes  and  septic  poisons  in  its 
path.  Chemists,  medical  officers,  and  sanitary  authorities  all 
over  the  world  recognize  Carbo-Negus  as  the  safest  and  most 
reliable  disinfectant  known  to  science.  Carbo-Negus  will 
keep  your  sewer  sweet  and  clean,  the  air  of  bedrooms,  school 
rooms,  dwelling-rooms,  kitchens,  workshops,  barracks,  rail- 
way cars,  steamboats,  hotels  and  public  buildings  free  from 
odor  and  contagion.  Carbo-Negus  is  of  the  greatest  value 
in  disinfecting  cellars,  dog  kennels,  cattle-sheds,  barns,  sta- 
bles and  henneries,  markets,  stores,  etc.  Managers  of  public 
buildings,  hospitals,  etc.,  find  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  the  most 
satisfactory  disinfectant,  cleanser,  deodorizer  and  purifier  in 
the  world. 

Carbo-Negus  is  strictly  a  medical  disinfectant  and  users

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.   137 

of  Carbo-Negus  find  its  use  multiplying  so  rapidly  that  it  be- 
comes an  actual  necessity  to  the  comfort  of  the  household. 
"Good  for  a  thousand  uses"  is  the  common  way  of  speaking 
of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus. 

Catarrh. — Draw  gently  up  into  the  nostrils,  three  times 
a  day,  a  few  drops  of  a  solution  composed  of  three  to  five 
drops  of  Carbo-Negus  in  a  half  pint  of  warm  water,  and  gar- 
gle the  throat  with  same  sort  of  solution. 

Whooping  Cough. — Keep  solution  of  Carbo-Negus  about 
the  room  in  open  vessels,  renewing  daily.  Internally,  two 
drops  of  Carbo-Negus  in  a  glass  of  water,  dose  one  teaspoon- 
ful  every  hour;  no  better  remedy  for  v/hooping  cough. 

Ringworm. — It  is  a  vegetable  parasite,  which  may  quickly 
be  destroyed  by  a  few  applications  of  Carbo-Negus.  Paint 
the  worm  with  Carbo-Negus  night,  and  morning,  using  full 
strength.  In  a  few  days  the  spot  will  become  sore,  conse- 
quently use  less  of  the  Carbo-Negus,  and  it  will  soon  heal 
and  the  ringworm  disappear. 

Pimples  and  Face  Eruptions. — Bathe  the  spots  freely 
several  times  a  day  with  a  mixture  composed  of  a  teaspoonful 
of  Carbo-Negus  to  each  quart  of  water  used. 

Warts  and  Corns. — Can  be  quickly  softened  and  will 
disappear  entirely  after  a  few  applications  of  Carbo-Negus, 
applying  the  strong  fluid  to  the  com  or  wart  by  means  of  a 
spUnt  of  wood,  or  brush  as  often  as  convenient,  but  not  less 
than  twice  daily,  touching  just  the  corn  itself. 

Chilblains. — If  the  skin  is  not  broken  anoint  the  feet 
with  Carbo-Negus  night  and  morning,  allowing  it  to  remain 
on  ten  minutes,  then  wash  off  with  warm  water;  if  skin  is

For  the  Sick  Room. — ^To  prevent  the  spread  of  infec- 
tious diseases,  such  as  Cholera,  Scarlet  Fever,  Measles, 
Grippe,  Diphtheria,  Smallpox,  etc.,  wash  floors  and  walls  and 
sprinkle  freely  everywhere  with  the  solution.  Hang  cloths 
dipped  in  this  solution  about  the  room.  Spittoons  and  cham- 
ber vessels  should  always  contain  this  mixture.  Wet  all 
cloths  and  dishes  with  solution  before  removing  from  the 
room.  Put  one  or  two  tablespoonfuls  of  Carbo-Negus  into 
a  pail  of  water  and  let  it  remain  in  the  room. 

In  Typhoid  Fever,  Dysentery,  Yellow  Fever,  Chol- 
era, OR  ANY  Contagious  Disease. — The  evacuations  should 
be  received  in  chamber,  or  pan  and  immediately  covered 
with  Carbo-Negus  solution  in  the  proportion  of  gill  to  gal- 
lon of  water. 

Chamber  Utensils — These  should  always  be  washed  out 
with  a  solution  of  Carbo-Negus,  a  tablespoonful  to  each  pail 
of  water.  Cleans  and  kills  odors.  Floors  and  walls  are  easily 
disinfected  by  putting  in  the  scrubbing  water  a  little  Carbo- 
Negus,  about  half-cup  of  Carbo-Negus  to  a  gallon  of  water. 

Kitchen  Odors. — Oftentimes  disagreeable  odors  arise 
from  the  kitchen  or  cook  room  where  food  is  being  prepared, 
and  permeate  the  whole  house,  rendering  the  air  offensive 
and  annoying  to  the  family.  These  can  be  prevented  or 
removed  by  Carbo-Negus,  and  it  is  especially  recommended 
in  all  cases  where  odors  are  prevalent,  as  it  acts  by  com- 
bining with  the  causes  of  the  smell,  rendering  it  inert,  and, 
by  its  germicidal  action  in  destroying  micro-organisms,  it 
prevents  the  development  of  gases  that  give  rise  to  object- 
ionable odors.  Use  tablespoon  of  Carbo-Negus  to  a  cup  of 
water ;  have  two  or  three  such  sitting  around  and  the  kitchen 
will  smell  as  sweet  as  the  drawing-room  or  parlor. 

Kitchen  Sinks. — Should  be  flushed  thoroughly  two  or 
three  times  a  day  after  use,  with  quart  or  so  of  solution  com- 
posed of  teaspoonf ul  of  Carbo-Negus  to  each  quart  of  water. 

Ice  Boxes. — ^Wash  with  a  solution  of  two  tablespoonfuls 
of  Carbo-Negus  to  a  quart  of  water.  This  will  thoroughly 
cleanse  the  ice  boxes,  destroying  all  the  disagreeable  odors. 
After  washing,  rinse  with  clean  water,  and  allow  to  remain 
open  for  a  few  moments,  and  the  ice  box  will  be  pure  and 
sweet. 

Pure  Air  in  Basements  and  Cellars. — ^You  can  re-

move  foul  odors  and  dangerous  gases  from  basements  or 
cellars,  drive  away  the  flies  and  kill  all  disease  germs,  by- 
using  a  few  spoonfuls  of  Carbo-Negus  to  a  pail  of  water,  and 
sprinkling  the  floors,-walls  and  recesses,  and  by  pouring  water 
containing  some  of  the  solution  in  the  urinals,  privy- vaults 
and  sink-drains. 

Laundry. — To  each  gallon  of  washing  water  add  one-half 
teaspoonful  of  Carbo-Negus.  It  will  bleach  the  clothes. 
Don't  use  it  in  the  rinsing  water. 

Water-Closets  and  Urinals. — To  each  gallon  of  water 
add  one  tablespoonful  of  Carbo-Negus,  and  thoroughly  flush 
the  bowls  each  night  and  morning. 

Drains. — Pour  a  few  drops  of  Carbo-Negus  into  the  drain 
night  and  morning. 

OuT-DooR  Closets. — Mix  a  little  Carbo-Negus  in  a  pail 
of  water  and  sprinkle  in  each  hole. 

For  Ash  Barrels,  Swill  Buckets,  etc. — These  should 
be  kept  free  from  germ  disease.  Sprinkle  them  with  solu- 
tion of  Carbo-Negus  frequently. 

During  the  Summer  Months. — The  many  foul  odors 
that  arise  about  the  premises,  resulting  from  decaying  veg- 
etation, stagnant  water,  sour  swill-barrels,  filthy  pig-styes, 
neglected  stable  vaults  and  water-closets,  render  the  constant 
use  of  disinfectants  and  deodorizers  necessary  in  keeping 
our  homes  healthful  and  preventing  disease.  Nothing  equals 
Carbo-Negus  for  this  purpose. 

For  Garden. — To  get  rid  of  green  flies,  rose'bugs,  spiders 
and  ants,  use  Carbo-Negus.  Spray  the  vines  or  use  water- 
ing pot ;  solution  of  from  one  to  three  hundred  parts  of  water 
to  one  part  of  Carbo-Negus,  according  to  the  strength  of 
the  vines. 

Carbo-Negus  will  be  found  useful  in  many  ways.  Get 
acquainted  with  Carbo-Negus,  it  will  be  to  your  advantage. 
It  will  preserve  sanitary  conditions  anywhere,  house,  stable 
or  kennel. 

It  will  destroy  germs  and  poison,  allay  inflammation, 
cleanse  and  disinfect  sores  and  wounds  by  keeping  them  free 
from  the  poisonous  germ  life,  and  aids  nature  in  the  rapid 
healing  of  almost  any  sort  of  wound,  cut,  bum  or  sore. 

No  family  should  be  without  this  great  disinfectant ;  its 
uses  are  untold

dr.  a.  c.  daniels'  oster-cocus  liniment  for  family 

USE. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  has  been  styled  the 
Golden  Liniment ;  it  is  the  color  of  gold,  good  as  gold,  and 
worth  its  weight  in  gold. 

Unequalled  for  all  Strains,  Sprains,  Lame  Back,  Pain  in 
Chest  or  Abdomen,  Inflammation,  Cold  Sores,  Sore  Throat, 
Chilblains,  Stiff  Joints,  Rheumatism,  Neuralgia,  Ivy  Pois- 
on, Stings,  Mosquito  or  Insect  Bites,  etc. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Liniment  is  made  expressly  for  a  Liniment, 
and  is  a  Liniment,  and  whenever  you  want  a  liniment  for 
any  use,  Daniels'  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  is  the  best  and  safest. 
It  will  do  the  work  asleep  or  awake. 

For  Strains  and  Sprains. — First,  bathe  in  hot  water 
when  convenient,  then  apply  Oster-Cocus  freely,  but  do  not 
bandage  while  inflammation  lasts.  When  you  are  able  to 
walk  about,  after  having  a  sprained  ankle,  use  the  Oster- 
Cocus  morning  and  night  for  a  few  days.  It  will  strengthen 
the  ankle  and  obviate  all  tendency  to  weak  joints.  If  you 
wish  most  remarkable  results  just  use  Liniment  Powder  in 
the  hot  water,  tablespoonful  to  quart  of  water,  soak,  keeping 
the  water  hot ;  the  inflammation  will  be  removed ;  then  use 
the  Oster-Cocus,  and  tell  your  friends  the  result. 

Sciatic  Rheumatism. — Apply  freely  Oster-Cocus.  Rub 
briskly  and  bandage  with  flannel  wet  with  Oster-Cocus ;  a 
dry  cloth  over  that ;  keep  the  bandage  on  as  long  as  possible. 
Repeat  at  intervals  until  relieved. 

Inflammatory  Rheumatism. — Bathe  for  twenty  min- 
utes in  hot  water,  then  apply  Oster-Cocus  Liniment  freely ; 
do  not  rub  hard.  Use  every  hour  on  the  inflamed  parts 
till  relieved ;  do  not  bandage. 

Neuralgia. — Bathe  for  twenty  minutes  in  hot  water. 
Rub  briskly  the  sore  place  with  Oster-Cocus,  holding  on  a 
cloth  saturated  with  Oster-Cocus  for  a  few  minutes.  Do 
not  bandage,  but  repeat  until  relieved. 

Rheumatism  and  Neuralgia. — Many  persons  have  ser- 
ious attacks,  often  assuming  chronic  form  or  state.  To  all 
such  we  recommend  an  internal  treatment,  a  simple  and  ef- 
fective remedy.  One  ounce  of  Burdock  Root  and  one  quart 
of  water  boiled  down  to  one  pint,  add  four  ounces  of  Epsom 

Home  Treatment  for  Horses  and  Cattle 


142    Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines 

Salts,  dissolved  in  one  pint  of  water.  Strain  Burdock  Root 
before  mixing  with  the  salts.  Dose,  one  tablespoonful  every 
four  hours.  If  you  are  troubled  with  either  Rheumatism  or 
Neuralgia  and  cannot  get  relief,  get  a  box  of  Liniment  Pow- 
der, and  a  bottle  of  Oster-Cocus.  Put  into  a  vessel  one 
tablespoonful  of  the  powder  to  quart  of  hot  water,  keeping 
the  water  as  hot  as  you  can  possibly  bear  it ;  soak  the  af- 
fected part  for  half  hour  or  even  more ;  wipe  dry  and  rub 
on  a  little  Oster-Cocus,  this  latter  two  or  three  times  to  one 
soaking ;  if  the  trouble  is  located  so  it  cannot  be  submerged 
in  a  soaking,  then  wring  out  hot  cloths,  apply  them  to  the 
lame  and  aching  part,  one  after  the  other  in  quick  succes- 
sion for  half  hour  or  more;  apply  the  Oster-Cocus  as  before 
mentioned;  repeating  treatment  in  conjunction  with  the  in- 
ternal remedy  will  give  you  what  you  seek,  relief  and  comfort. 

Cold  Sores. — If  you  find  one  coming,  just  put  a  little 
Oster-Cocus  Oil  on  it  at  night  and  presto  !  in  the  morning 
it  is  gone.     If  delayed  a  few  applications  will  do  it. 

Sore  Throat. — Wet  a  soft  cloth  with  Oster-Cocus  and 
bind  around  the  throat,  covering  with  dry  flannel.  Allow 
it  to  remain  as  long  as  can  be  borne.  This  will  cure  sore 
throat  in  a  night.     Remove  bandage  before  it  blisters. 

Sore  Feet. — Become  blistered  and  sore  from  constant 
standing  or  moving. 

Treatment. — On  retiring  bathe  the  feet  in  a  solution  of 
Carbo-Negus,  a  teaspoonful  to  a  quart  of  water,  dry  thor- 
oughly and  apply  Oster-Cocus,  but  do  not  rub  too  hard. 
Any  one  who  suffers  with  sore  feet  will  be  astonished  at 
the  results  of  a  few  evenings  thus  spent. 

Stiff  Joints  and  Deep-Seated  Lameness. — Bathe  for 
twenty  minutes  in  hot  water,  hot  as  3^ou  can  bear  it,  then 
rub  on  freely  Oster-Cocus  Liniment ;  bandage  with  a  cloth 
wet  in  Oster-Cocus,  put  a  dry  one  over  that,  and  remove 
the  bandage  if  it  becomes  too  hot  for  comfort. 

Lame  Back,  Pains  in  Chest  or  Abdomen,  Cramps. — 
Apply  Oster-Cocus  freely  to  the  affected  parts,  covering  with 
cloths  as  long  as  can  be  borne. 

Chilblains. — Bathe  in  Liniment  Pow^der,  hot  as  you  can 
stand,  twenty  minutes,  more  or  less.  Apply  freely  Oster- 
Cocus  Liniment  like  a  wash.  They  will  disappear  hke  magic 
with  one  or  two  applications.

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.    143 

Ivy  Poison. — Apply  Oster-Cocus  frequently  and  freely; 
the  poison  and  itching  will  disappear  at  once. 

Mosquito  and  Insect  Bites,  etc. — For  these  it  is  in- 
valuable. As  soon  as  possible  after  the  bite,  apply  freely 
Oster-Cocus.  Sure  to  relieve.  If  you  put  a  little  Oster- 
Cocus  on  your  hands  and  face  when  troubled  by  mosquitoes 
they  will  not  bite,  it  keeps  them  away ;  hunters  and  fisher- 
men use  it  for  this  purpose. 

Toothache. — With  a  feather,  or  similar  help,  drop  two 
or  three  drops  of  Oster-Cocus  on  the  gum  around  the  tooth, 
and  hold  a  cloth  to  the  face  saturated  with  Oster-Cocus. 

Athletes. — Find  that  nothing  is  equal  to  Oster-Cocus  for 
strengthening  the  muscles,  nerves  and  cords  after  all  exer- 
tions or  exercise.  One  rub -down  with  this  Liniment  will 
prove  its  worth  to  you.  Oster-Cocus  is  compounded  upon 
scientific  principles,  and  is  not  a  "patent"  remedy. 

Enlarged  or  Varicose  Veins  and  Knotted  Cords. — 
Massage  them  gently  then  apply  Oster-Cocus  freely,  repeat- 
ing once  or  twice  daily.  Reduce  with  kerosene  oil,  when 
found  too  strong. 

Rupture. — Rub  the  flesh  gently  with  the  fingers,  then 
apply  Oster-Cocus,  repeat  night  and  morning  for  a  few  weeks ; 
do  not  rub  the  liniment  in  as  it  may  be  too  irritating ;  at 
first  a  little  irritation  may  appear  but  this  will  soon  wear 
away,  and  you  can  continue  the  treatment ;  if  perspiration 
is  free,  wash  off  the  liniment  before  adjusting  your  truss. 
Reduce  with  kerosene  oil  if  found  too  strong. 

Worms. — Tape  and  other  worms  dispelled.  A  few  drops 
on  a  little  sugar  before  each  meal  for  three  or  four  days 
and  then  a  laxative  of  some  sort. 

For  General  Use. — Rub  the  sore  or  painful  part  smartly 
from  five  to  ten  minutes  after  applying  the  Liniment ;  in 
some  cases  wet  a  piece  of  flannel  thoroughly  with  it,  and 
bind  it  tightly  over  the  part  for,  say,  ten  to  thirty  min- 
utes, or  as  long  as  can  be  borne.  If  not  much  improved  in 
an  hour  repeat  above  treatment. 

Always  insist  on  Daniels'  Liniment.  Oster-Cocus  is  the 
copyright  name.  Imitators  cannot  and  dare  not  use  the 
name  Oster-Cocus  for  their  imitations  of  Liniment.  When 
this  liniment  seems  too  strong  reduce  it  with  kerosene  oil, 
hot  water  or  alcohol.

Chapped  and  Cracked  Hands. — Soak  and  wash  in  hot 
water  to  which  has  been  added  a  few  drops  of  Daniels* 
Carbo-Negus,  after  which  bind  up  with  a  soft  piece  of  cotton 
cloth,  kept  wet  with  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  W^itch 
Hazel.     A  few  applications  will  overcome  the  trouble. 

Fissures  and  Cracks  of  the  Skin. — These  very  often 
occur  upon  the  nipples  of  the  female  breast,  between 
the  toes,  also  in  the  mucous  membrane  of  the  lips,  anus, 
vagina,  etc.,  and  should  be  washed  thoroughly  with  warm 
water  into  which  has  been  dropped  two  or  three  drops  of 
Daniels'  Carbo-Negus.  Then  apply  frequently  Dr.  Daniels' 
Extract  of  Witch  Hazel.  This  will  relieve  inflammation, 
soreness,  and  facilitate  the  healing. 

Sores  of  almost  any  kind  should  be  washed  in  a  solution 
of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  and  warm  water,  10  to  15  drops 
to  a  quart  of  water,  to  destroy  all  germ  life,  after  which 
apply  freely  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel. 
Bandage  with  a  soft  cloth  and  keep  wet  with  the  Extract. 

Stings  of  Insects  and  Bites  of  Mosquitoes  and 
Spiders. — Bathe  freely  with  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Extract  of 
Witch  Hazel:  the  cloth  should  be  kept  wet  with  the  Ex- 
tract, and  the  swelling  will  be  dispelled  and  the  pain 
relieved  in  a  yery  short  time. 

Affections  of  the  Mucous  Membrane. — The  inflam- 
mation oftentimes  becomes  chronic,  the  tissues  become 
flabby,  and  the  flow  of  the  mucus  is  largely  increased  as 
in  Catarrh,  etc.  The  nose,  throat,  mouth,  stomach, 
intestines,  urethra,  vagina,  etc.,  contain  this  membranous 
lining  and  make  it  easy  for  us  to  understand  the  many 
disagreeable  troubles  of  these  membranes. 

Catarrh. — Nearly  universal  with  mankind  in  some  form 
or  other,  is  attended  with  much  inconvenience,  frequently 
causing  pain  and  discharges  of  mucus. 

Catarrh    of  the  Bladder. — Very  successfully  treated

Dr.  a.  C.  Daniels'  Veterinary  Medicines.     147 

by  the  use  of  Dr.  Darxiels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel, 
taking  a  teaspoonful  of  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  every  three 
or  four  hours  during  the  day,  internally  and  injecting  it  into 
the  bladder  night  and  morning,  a  tablespoonful,  diluted 
with  three  or  four  times  the  quantity  of  warm  water,  at  a 
temperature  of  98°  to  100°  F. 

Catarrh  of  the  Head,  Cold  in  the  Head,  etc. — 
Carefully  cleanse  the  nostrils;  then  w4th  a  douche  or 
syringe  inject  into  the  nostrils  a  solution  of  warm  water 
and  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel,  in  about 
equal  parts.  Tipping  the  head  back  the  solution  will 
flow  through  the  nose  into  the  mouth  and  thus  be  ejected. 
Repeat  this  operation  two  or  three  times  and  gargle  the 
throat  night  and  morning,  oftener  if  convenient. 

Sore  Throat. — Gargle  frequently  with  Dr.  Daniels' 
Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  full  strength,  and  swallow  a  tea- 
spoonful  once  in  three  or  four  hours;  this  will  give  relief, 
allay  the  inflammation  and  reduce  the  discharge  of  mucus, 
A  cloth  kept  wet  in  Witch  Hazel  and  bound  around  the 
throat  is  of  great  benefit,  or  Oster-Cocus  can  be  applied. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  will  be  found  very 
useful  in  Hay  Fever.  Vvlth  a  nasal  douche  dilute  with 
warm  water  about  equal  parts  and  spray  the  throat  and 
nose  two  or  three  times  a  day. 

Catarrh  of  the  Vagina. — This  includes  Whites  or 
Leucorrhoea  and  is  a  very  common  trouble,  being  purely 
catarrhal  in  its  nature.  Use  two  quarts  of  hot  water, 
into  which  put  six  drops  of  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus  and 
use  as  a  douche,  then  inject  equal  parts,  a  cupful  each,  of 
Daniels'  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  and  hot  water,  retaining 
the  same  ten  minutes.  The  patient  should  lie  upon  her 
back  with  a  bed-pan  under  her. 

Sore  Gums  and  Sore  Mouth — Whether  in  infants, 
adults,  men  or  women,  hold  about  a  teaspoonful  of  Daniels' 
Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  in  the  mouth  a  few  minutes 
at  a  time  and  saturate  the  afflicted  parts. 

Common  accidents  are  annoying  and  often  result  in  pain- 
ful and  dangerous  conditions,  but  in  most  cases  they 
should  not  cause  any  extended  trouble.  Should  there 
be  a  cut,  draw  the  lips  of  the  wound  together,  wash  away 
the  blood  stains,  wind  a  bandage  about  the  injured  part;

beginning  below,  wind  upwards,  then  saturate  and  keep 
w^et  with  a  soft  piece  of  cloth  and  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract 
of  Witch  Hazel.  In  two  or  three  days  remove  the  cloth 
and  until  the  parts  are  firmly  united  apply  a  piece  of 
plaster.     Results  are  sometimes  almost  wonderful. 

Dentists  will  find  Dr.  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch 
Hazel  of  great  advantage  to  them  in  their  practice.  The 
mouth  should  be  rinsed  v/ith  it,  and  it  should  be  injected 
directly  into  the  wound  and  held  with  absorbent  cotton. 

Bleeding  Nose. — Inject  carefully  Daniels'  Cloudy  Ex- 
tract of  Witch  Hazel  into  both  nostrils,  throwing  the 
head  back  and  allowing  the  fluid  to  pass  into  the  mouth 
from  which  it  can  be  ejected.  In  some  cases  it  will  be 
necessary  to  saturate  a  piece  of  soft  cloth  with  the  Extract. 

Piles. — It  does  not  matter  the  variety  or  the  kind; 
all  are  troublesome.  Take  internally  three  times  a  day 
a  teaspoonful  of  Daniels'  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel.  Inject 
a  teaspoonful  each  of  hot  water  and  Daniels'  Cloudy 
Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  night  and  morning.  Bathe  often 
and  freely  with  the  Extract;  and  saturate  with  a  sponge 
or  piece  of  cloth  and  keep  w^et  with  the  Extract;  apply 
often  to  the  affected  parts  externally.  This  treatment 
will  almost  instantly  relieve  the  pain  and  in  a  very  short 
time  overcome  the  piles.    Wonder  Worker  can  also  be  used. 

Earache. — When  from  neuralgia  a  sw^elling  is  noticed, 
saturate  some  lint  with  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch 
Hazel,  hot,  and  carefully  fill  the  ear,  covering  with  a  dry 
cloth;  repeat  and  keep  hot;  it  will  act  as  a  poultice  and 
quickly  relieve  the  pain. 

Headache. — When  caused  from  neuralgia,  rub  the 
temples  and  scalp  wdth  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch 
Hazel;  saturate  a  soft  piece  of  cloth  and  lay  over  the 
temples,  keeping  it  moistened  from  time  to  time. 

Face  Wash — Nothing  is  more  refreshing  and  invigor- 
ating than  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel. 

Toothache. — Resulting  from  neuralgia  or  cold;  saturate 
a  piece  of  absorbent  cotton  with  Daniels'  Extract,  and 
carefully  pack  around  the  gums  and  aching  tooth. 

In  all  forms  of  sprains,  strains,  rheumatism  and  soreness 
of  the  muscles,  the  pain  and  lameness  will  be  relieved 
by  a  generous  application  of  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of

Witch  Hazel,  and  a  brisk  rubbing;  also  bind  around  the 
affected  parts  a  cloth  wet  with  the  Extract. 

Black  Eye  and  Bruised  Skin. — Quickly  relieved  by- 
keeping  a  soft  cloth  wet  with  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of 
Witch  Hazel  upon  the  injured  surface. 

Sore  Throat,  Inflammation  of  the  Tonsils,  Cold  in 
THE  Head,  Hoarseness.  Etc. — Gargle  the  throat  with 
Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  three  or  four  times 
a  day.  Saturate  a  piece  of  flannel  in  the  Extract  and  bind 
around  the  throat  and  cover  with  a  dry  cloth.  If  the  cold 
appears  in  the  head,  dilute  the  Extract  with  warm  water 
in  equal  parts;  with  a  nasal  douche,  inject  into  the  nostrils, 
or  snuff  it  up.  This  treatment,  repeated  three  or  four  times 
a  day,  will  invariably  give  relief. 

Sore  Lungs. — Take  a  teaspoonful  of  Daniels'  Cloudy 
Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  four  or  six  times  a  day. 

Itching. — Bind  a  cloth  wet  with  Daniels'  Cloudy  Ex- 
tract of  Witch  Hazel  to  the  affected  parts  and  renew  until 
the  itching  has  ceased,  which  will  be  very  soon. 

Scratches. — Whether  by  animals,  plants  or  shrubs, 
bathe  frequently  with  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract,  and  bind 
upon  the  affected  part  a  soft  cloth  wet  with  the  Extract. 

Eruptions  of  the  Skin,  Pimples,  Etc — Of  course  these 
are  always  caused  by  humor  in  the  system,  or  from  the 
condition  of  the  stomach,  and  should  be  treated  under  the 
advice  of  a  physician.  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch 
Hazel  will,  however,  be  found  most  valuable  in  reducing 
the  inflam.mation,  stopping  the  itching,  and  in  a  short  time 
causing  the  eruptions  to  disappear. 

Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  as  a  toilet  article 
is  a  necessity  for  every  lady  and  gentleman.  It  is  better 
than  any  of  the  so-called  prepared  cosmetics,  lotions  or 
powders  and  can  be  freely  and  safely  used. 

Redness  and  Roughness  of  the  Skin. — Should  be 
freely  bathed  with  the  Extract,  which  will  soon  restore 
the  skin  to  its  natural  color  and  make  the  skin  firm  and 
flexible. 

Prickly  Heat. — Bathe  frequently  with  the  Extract. 

Exposure. — If  the  arms  and  neck  have  been  exposed,  a 
thorough  bathing  with  the  Extract  and  a  good  rubbing  will 
insure  one  from  taking  cold.

For  Gentlemen. — As  a  wash  for  the  face  after  shaving, 
Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  will  be  found  far 
superior  to  Bay  Rum,  Florida  or  Violet  Water.  It  quickly 
reduces  the  inflammation  which  remains  after  the  use  of 
the  razor,  stops  the  bleeding,  if  any,  and  makes  the  skin 
firm  and  flexible.  It  is  used  by  the  best  barbers,  through- 
out the  United  States. 

For  Athletes,  and  those  who  take  daily  exercise, 
Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  vv^ill  be  found  of 
great  advantage,  stimulating  the  muscles  and  cords,  and 
removing  all  soreness  and  swelling. 

For  a  Rub  Down  it  has  no  equal,  as  thousands  all  over 
the  country  will  testify. 

For  Dandruff,  Scaly  Scalp,  Loss  op  Hair,  Daniels* 
Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch  Hazel  will  be  found  one  of  the 
most  efficient  remedies  for  these  troubles  in  existence. 
Wash  the  hair  with  Daniels'  Carbo-Negus,  diluted  one 
teaspoonful  to  pint  of  warm  water,  and  rinse  clean  with 
warm  water.  Apply  Daniels'  Cloudy  Extract  of  Witch 
Hazel  freely,  massaging  the  scalp  briskly.  This  will  insure 
a  clean  scalp  and  prevent  the  hair  from  falling  out.  Not 
on?  man  in  a  hundred  need  have  a  bald  head,  if  this  advice 
will  be  followed  when  dandruff  is  first  discovered.  Dan- 
druff is  caused  by  a  germ;  the  germ  must  be  destroyed  be- 
fore a  healthy  scalp  can  be  insured. 

Insist  on  Dr.  A.  C.  Daniels'  Cloudy  Witch  Hazel  whether 
for  family  or  stable  use;  its  the  best.

SOMETHING  NEW  IN  DOG  BREAD 


DR.  A.  C.  DANIELS'  Medicated  Dog  Bread  is  manufactured 
expressly  for  dogs  and  puppies  from  the  best  of  everything  re- 
quired for  dog  food.  The  best  winter  wheat,  graham,  oat  and  rice 
meal  and  flour  combined  with  edible  bone  meal  and  fresh  meat,  pep- 
sin, gentian  and  other  ingredients  to  make  the  most  digestible  bone, 
nerve  and  muscle  building  food  possible  to  produce,  free  from  all 
waste,  mill  sweepings,  talc  powder  or  other  cheapening  ingredients, 
it  makes  the  best  dog  bread  possible. 

Dr.  Daniels'  Medicated  Dog  Bread  is  clean  enough  for  you 
to  eat.  It  costs  a  little  more  than  ordinary  dog  bread,  but  there  is  a 
good  reason — everything  entering  into  its  composition  is  of  the  best 
quality,  and  is  intended  to  make  the  best  Dog  Bread  on  earth. 
There  is  no  grist  mill  or  factory  bakery  connected  with  our  business, 
and  therefore  have  no  waste  to  use  up,  and  consequently  have  to  buy 
all  the  ingredients  just  to  make  this  Dog  and  Puppy  Bread.  We 
are  trying  to  make  the  best  dog  bread  on  the  market,  and  knowing, 
from  a  medical  point  of  view,  the  requirements  for  the  best  food  for 
building  strong  dogs,  we  introduce  them  into  the  making  of  the  right 
kind  of  dog  bread.  Not  only  do  we  get  the  best  bread,  but  know- 
ing the  faults  of  most  breads  in  causing  constipation,  indigestion,  and 
many  skin  ills,  we  have  added  to  Dr.  Daniels'  Bread  such  medical 
qualities  as  will  aid  digestion,  tone  the  stomach  and  prevent  constipa- 
tion, thus  aiding  nature  in  the  work  of  growing  strong,  healthy  animals, 
and  keeping  them  up  to  condition.  Where  your  dogs  are  in  health 
and  condition  you  have  little  occasion  to  dread  disease  overtaking 
them. 

When  your  dog  is  at  shows  don't  depend  on  free  bread;  give  them 
Dr.  Daniels'  Medicated  Bread.  When  they  are  off-feed,  down 
sick  and  convalescing  give  them  Dr.  Daniels'  Dog  Bread,  and  at  in- 
tervals during  the  week  give  this  bread,  not  as  a  continuous  diet,  but 
as  an  adjunct.  No  one  kind  of  food  should  be  given  continuously  or 
to  excess,  variety  is  best  for  you  or  your  dog.  Bear  in  mind  that  Dr. 
Daniels*  Medicated  Dog  and  Puppy  Bread  is  more  expensive  per 
pound,  but  it's  better — that's  the  reason — let  your  dog  have  the  best.

DANIELS'   DISINFECTANT 
CARBO-NEGUS 


CARBO-NEGUS 

The  Great  Microbe  and  Germ  Killer 

is  effective,  safe  and  satisfactory — a  real  germ-killer,  of  equal  value  in  house, 
stable  or  kennel,  workshop  or  factory. 

Carbo-Negus  kills  bad  odors,  destroys  germs  of  Typhoid  Fever,  Diph- 
theria, Scarlet  Fever,  Cholera,  etc.  Hence,  we  say  to  dog  owners,  buy 
Carbo-Negus  and  secure  the  best  to  use  about  your  kennels.  At  Dog 
Shows  where  Carbo-Negus  disinfects,  you  take  no  risk  of  contagion.  Of 
great  value  in  treating  distemper.  Others  claim  a  good  many  things,  but 
few  can  * 'deliver  the  goods."  Carbo-Negus  has  been  in  use  for  many 
years — most  similar  things  but  few.  Carbo-Negus  is  used  from  New 
Brunswick  to  California;  Canada  to  Texas — try  it,  you  won't  spend  your 
money  for  any  other  after  once  using  Carbo-Negus.

Catnip  for  the  cat  in  the  winter  months  or  for  the  cat  housed  in  the  city 
flat  is  most  essential  for  preserving  their  health  and  one  should  secure 
Catnip  free  from  dust,  dirt,  hay,  leaves  and  adulterations.  The  ordinary 
Catnip  is  actually  injurious  for  the  cat,  it  is  generally  full  of  dust  which 
enters  the  nose  and  most  seriously  affects  the  breathing  apparatus,  causing 
cold  in  the  head,  catarrh  and  bronchial  affections.  We  grow  and  carefully 
prepare  a  superior  quality  of  Catnip  which  is  clean,  pure,  free  from  dust, 
and  cats  appreciate  it.  Catnip  Ball  Brand  Loose  Catnip.  Ask  for  it.
